The meeting between the two reportedly took place on the sidelines of the G20 summit. During the meeting, Macron told Morrison that Australia's actions "undermined the relationship of trust between the two countries".
Morrison told reporters in Rome on the 30th that he found Macron and said hello between the summits. "He (Macron) was chatting with someone else at the time, and I stepped up and put my hand on his shoulder and said 'g'day,' Emmanuel," Morrison said, "and he (Macron) was happy to greet each other."
The report also mentioned that the Australian Prime Minister's Office released photos of the meeting between the two.

The United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia announced on September 15 a new trilateral security partnership in which the United States and the United Kingdom will support the Australian Navy in establishing a nuclear submarine force. Australia subsequently announced the suspension of the agreement to purchase 12 conventional submarines from France. France angrily denounced the three allies for "stabbing in the back" and "lying", recalling the ambassadors to the United States and Australia for the first time in history.
