Nissan Motor Co. Chief Executive Officer Makoto Uchida is meeting his counterpart at Renault SA for the first time this week in a long-awaited in-person encounter between top leaders of the auto partnership that’s faced severe strain.

Uchida is in France following a visit to the U.K., according to representatives of both companies. He met Renault CEO Luca de Meo, who took the helm last year, and will attend a regular meeting of the board governing the Franco-Japanese alliance.
