Macron, joined initially by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen , urged Xi not to allow the export of any technology that could be used by Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.

French President Emmanuel Macron was spotted wining and dining China's President Xi Jinping and his wife in the Alps as he attempts to end Beijing's support for Putin.

Macron welcomed Xi to a mountain restaurant outside the village of Bagnere-de-Bigorre to explore these issues in relative privacy and enjoy local delicacies. Images from the glam event show the leaders and their wives, Brigitte Macron and Peng Liyuan, enjoying glasses of wine and nibbling on cheese in a restaurant at the Tourmalet Pass.

'Emmanuel Macron's diplomacy has always relied, perhaps excessively, on the power of seduction,' said Bertrand Badie, specialist in international relations at Sciences Po university, warning that Xi was not known for 'sentimentality'.

He thanked Xi for backing his idea of a truce in all conflicts including Ukraine during the Paris Olympics this summer and pointedly added that France was not seeking 'regime change' in Russia.
