Notre Dame Reopens with Global Leaders and Diplomatic Talks

Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has officially reopened after a five-year restoration following a devastating fire in 2019. The grand reopening was attended by global leaders and marked by a ceremony led by French President Emmanuel Macron, who hailed the restoration as a symbol of French pride and international cooperation. The event also comes amid political turmoil for Macron, who is navigating a domestic crisis following the resignation of his prime minister. The restoration, costing €700 million, involved extensive efforts to return the cathedral to its original splendor, drawing on traditional craftsmanship and global support.
