French government envoy Jean-Pierre Chevenement said he was glad the Russian president plans to visit the opening ceremony for a Russian Orthodox complex in Paris.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Construction began in 2014 on the Russian Orthodox complex on Paris’ Quai Branly. In March, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Prikhodko said that the complex was likely to be completed in the fall of 2016.
“There is no Europe, preoccupied with its own interests and controlling its actions, if France and Russia do not agree on dialogue. I will be pleased, in this regard, with the next visit of Russian President [Vladimir] Putin, who will attend the opening of an Orthodox church in Paris, and may also go to the 1914 Battlefields of Reims,” Chevenement told RIA Novosti.
The 4,200-square-meter (1 acre) site will house four buildings — an Orthodox church of the Holy Trinity, a Russian-French primary school, an exhibition center and the diocesan administration with a concert hall and living quarters for priests and Russian Embassy cultural staff.
