Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne will make her first trip abroad to Germany on Thursday, where she will be received by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Matignon announced on Friday.
The German chancellor will welcome the head of the French government to the Chancellery in Berlin, where the two leaders will then hold a joint press conference.
Borne and Scholz will exchange "on the bilateral agenda, ahead of the next Franco-German Council of Ministers" scheduled in France at the end of October and on "the monitoring of joint commitments in a European framework, particularly in terms of energy cooperation", specified Matignon.
This trip will "also be an opportunity to reaffirm the unfailing support of France and Germany for Ukraine", added the same source.
Like Emmanuel Macron
Borne will then meet the French community in Germany at the residence of the French Embassy.
French President Emmanuel Macron also traveled to Germany for his first trip abroad after his re-election on May 7.
As part of European solidarity in the face of Russia's gas standoff, which has almost dried up its gas deliveries to Europe, France will be able to deliver liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Germany, which has no import terminals.
Elisabeth Borne travels to Germany the day before a meeting in Brussels of European energy ministers, who are to examine the emergency measures proposed by the European Commission to stem the rise in gas and electricity prices caused by the war in Ukraine.
