A Downing Street spokesperson said:
"The Prime Minister met President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysée
Palace this morning.
"The Prime Minister congratulated President Macron on hosting
such a successful Olympic Games and said he was looking forward
to watching the Paralympics in the coming weeks.
"The leaders reflected on the success of the European Political
Community meeting, held at Blenheim Palace last month, and agreed
on the importance of further strengthening and broadening the
close relationship between the UK and France in the coming
months.
"Turning to the fragile situation in the Middle East, the Prime
Minister said he was very concerned about the escalation in the
West Bank in recent days.
"The leaders agreed on the urgency of concluding the ceasefire
negotiations, and the importance of pursing a political solution
that creates an irreversible pathway to a Palestinian state
alongside the State of Israel, which can provide lasting security
for both Israelis and Palestinians.
"Moving to the shared challenge of small boat crossings, the
Prime Minister welcomed the joint action between the UK and
France and the leaders agreed to do more together to dismantle
smuggling routes further upstream and increase intelligence
sharing.
"The leaders looked forward to speaking again soon."
