PARIS (CN) — President Joe Biden landed in Paris Wednesday morning on a state visit to commemorate 80 years since the D-Day landings in Normandy. French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal greeted Biden at Orly Airport around 9:30 a.m. (3:30 a.m. EDT). The visit will span four days between Paris and Normandy.
On Thursday, President Biden will be a part of the 25 heads of state — including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz — who will take part in a ceremony on Omaha Beach, one of the five beaches where the Allies landed on June 6, 1944, in a key turning point in the Second World War.
This will also be the first state visit for England's King Charles III since his cancer diagnosis.
