Leaders from around the world met on Friday in Brussels for the G7 Summit, and one moment from the meeting swept the internet off its feet: photos of the strapping leaders of Canada and France going on a romantic stroll together spread like wildfire across social media. Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron sparked so many memes, chiefly about how much the two men looked like a handsome couple, or at least an astonishingly good-looking pair of friends.

The enthusiasm resulting from their meeting isn't too surprising. Some corners of the cyber world have been fantasizing about Trudeau and Macron's meeting well before they touched down in Sicily for the G7 Summit. Both men are known for holding liberal views; Macron was even dubbed "the French Trudeau" on social media.

Following his meeting with the Canadian leader, Macron tweeted a video of the meeting. "The Franco-Canadian friendship has a new face," he wrote. "@JustinTrudeau, we have to meet the challenges of our generation!" In a followup tweet including a photo of the pair, the French president said, "Together around common values, to respond to issues related to terrorism, climate and economic cooperation." Trudeau also tweeted photos of the friendly-looking meeting with Macron. "Sitting down with @EmmanuelMacron for the first time, talking jobs, security & climate – looking forward to more conversations, my friend," he wrote.

Their mutual admiration on Twitter only made the internet swoon harder over the photos of their walk. Check out some of the funniest reactions to the pair's first face-to-face encounter.
