"They agreed that the partnership between our countries will be crucial in overcoming the coronavirus pandemic and ensuring the global recovery is green and sustainable," added the statement.
Macron's visit to London came on the 80th anniversary of a famous speech made by French Resistance leader Charles de Gaulle in a BBC radio broadcast directed at people in Nazi-occupied France.
During their meeting, Johnson and Macron reflected on the sacrifice made by the British and French people in the World War II and on the enduring strength of the Britain-France relationship.
"They highlighted the modern day successes of this friendship including the political and defense cooperation enshrined in the Lancaster House Agreement ten years ago," the statement said.
At Downing Street, Johnson guided Macron around a display of artefacts documenting General de Gaulle's time in London and his partnership with Britain's wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Earlier, Macron and Britain's Prince Charles laid wreaths at a statue in London of General de Gaulle. A statue of Churchill in London, boarded up after being vandalised during Black Lives Matter demonstrations, was uncovered ahead of the French leaders' visit to the British capital.
