Especially during the luncheon meeting with Mayor Park Dong-sik, they explored the development of the aerospace industry between France and Sacheon City and agreed on strengthening cooperation between French companies and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI).

Meanwhile, Ambassador Lefort, who took office in 2019, is known for his strategies and extensive experience in regional development and the decentralization of public institutions in France.
