KRASNOGORSK (Moscow Region), February 2 (Sputnik) - French President Emmanuel Macron may make a visit to Moscow before taking part in the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), French Ambassador to Moscow Sylvie Bermann said Friday.

“This year, the president of the French Republic is planning to take part in the economic forum in St. Petersburg in May, and, I think, he will make a bilateral visit to Moscow before that,” Bermann said at the meeting with Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov.

On December 13, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Macron was planning to take part in the SPIEF as an honorary guest.
