President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has arrived in Paris, where he will hold a number of bilateral meetings throughout the day.

Zelensky's meeting with Federal Chancellor of Austria Karl Nehammer has begun, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Nehammer posted on X: "Thank you for the good and in-depth conversation we just had in Paris, President. We talked about intensifying our joint efforts to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting peace. As the capital of a neutral country, Vienna is always ready to host future peace talks."

Later, Zelensky will have a meeting with President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili. In the afternoon, the president will visit the Elysee Palace to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is also in Paris on Saturday. His meeting with the French leader is on the official agenda immediately before Macron's meeting with the Ukrainian leader.

Heads of state and government from about 40 countries arrived in Paris for the opening ceremony at Notre Dame Cathedral, which has been reconstructed after the fire that massively damaged the building five years ago.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, in Paris, President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to attend the opening ceremony of the restored Notre Dame Cathedral on December 7, which is also expected to be attended by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and about 40 other heads of state and government.
