MONTREAL — French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal will be in Quebec City and Montreal as he wraps up a three-day visit to Canada today.

Attal and Quebec Premier François Legault will hold a working session followed by a joint news conference in Quebec City this morning.

He will also take part in a panel organized by the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal, also with the Quebec premier.

The French prime minister has a full day, visiting an elementary school and the Quebec International Book Fair in Quebec City earlier in the day.

On Thursday, Attal told a news conference he supports a policy of neutrality towards Quebec independence as he stood next to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa.

He later delivered a speech before members of the provincial legislature — the first foreign leader to do so at Quebec’s national assembly since former French president François Hollande in 2014.
