STORYLINE:
Chinese President Xi Jinping left the Pyrenees concluding his state visit to France on Tuesday.
Xi will now head to Hungary and then Serbia.
France’s president hosted Xi at a remote mountain pass in the Pyrenees for private meetings after a high-stakes state visit in Paris dominated by trade disputes and Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine.
Foggy weather, falling snow and brisk winds obscured the view of the dramatic Tourmalet Pass. Macron and Xi — together with their wives, Brigitte Macron and Peng Liyuan — visited a mountain restaurant.
Before lunch, protected from the elements by umbrellas, they watched a traditional folk dance performance on the terrace.
The leaders were seen eating ham and blueberry pie, among other local specialties.
The leaders said their farewell amid the rain, and watched a military band ceremony.
