Ramping up collaboration in the areas of defence, climate change, trade and mobility of students will be the focus of in-depth talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron in Jaipur on Thursday, according to the French embassy here.
President Macron starts his two-day trip to India from Jaipur on Thursday and will be the chief guest at the Republic Day celebrations on January 26.
Set to be held on Thursday evening in Jaipur, the discussions between Modi and Macron will consolidate the ambitious renewal of the France-India strategic partnership that both countries had announced through the 'Horizon 2047 Roadmap' in July during Modi's visit to Paris, the embassy said on Wednesday.
The French president will be accompanied by a ministerial delegation comprising Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne, Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu and Minister for Culture Rachida Dati. A business delegation comprising French majors, and small and medium enterprises will also be part of the delegation. Several eminent French personalities, including European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet are also expected, the embassy said.
