Macron Visits Japan, Highlights Innovation and Bilateral Agreements

On April 1, 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron continued their official visit to Japan. The president gave an interview to NHK, then attended a session at the Tokyo Innovation Base, discussing “sovereign, sustainable, shared innovation.” He met Japanese business leaders and later visited the LIMMS laboratory at the University of Tokyo, where a Franco‑Japanese team led by CNRS demonstrated a DNA‑based cryptographic method for generating and sharing random keys regardless of distance. After lunch with Japanese cultural figures, Macron held talks with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi at Akasaka Palace. The two sides signed several agreements and released a joint statement on bilateral cooperation. The visit underscored ongoing collaboration in technology, energy, and security.
