Πολιτικούς ηγέτες από περίπου 100 χώρες υποδέχθηκε ο πρόεδρος της Γαλλικής Δημοκρατίας, Εμανουέλ Μακρόν, στο Μέγαρο των Ηλυσίων, λίγο πριν από την τελετή έναρξης των Ολυμπιακών Αγώνων στο Παρίσι.
Μεταξύ των ηγετών που παρευρέθηκαν ήταν και ο πρωθυπουργός Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης, συνοδευόμενος από τη σύζυγό του Μαρέβα Γκραμπόφσκι
Ο Εμανουέλ Μακρόν παρέθεσε δεξίωση προς τιμήν των αρχηγών κρατών και κυβερνήσεων.
Mάλιστα, ο Γάλλος πρόεδρος ανήρτησε στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης μια φωτογραφία με όλους τους ηγέτες που υποδέχθηκε, με λεζάντα: «Dear friends, welcome!» (Αγαπητοί φίλοι, καλώς ήρθατε!).
