India-France ties reach new heights as Modi, Macron seal defence, trade deals

PM Modi's visit brought into sharp focus the further strengthening of the Indo-French partnership across key areas, including technology, nuclear energy, sustainability, and cultural ties.

Taking to X, PM Modi stated that India and France were working together to enhance cooperation in logistics, sustainability, and global trade, reinforcing a shared vision for a better maritime future.

Strengthening Maritime Ties in Marseille! President @Emmanuel Macron and I visited the control room of CMA-CGM, a global leader in shipping and logistics. As India expands its maritime and trade networks, collaborations with industry leaders will play a crucial role in boosting connectivity, supply chains, and economic growth. We are working towards enhancing India-France cooperation in logistics, sustainability, and global trade, reinforcing our shared vision for a better maritime future," he said on the microblogging site.

PM Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron held part of their bilateral discussions onboard the presidential aircraft while travelling from Paris to Marseille on Wednesday. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri noted that India-France ties "literally touched new heights."

Briefing the media in France on the ongoing visit, Misri said the two leaders exchanged views on recent geopolitical developments in Europe, West Asia, and the Indo-Pacific, discussing issues of global and regional importance.

On Tuesday, Modi and Macron cochaired the AI Action Summit in Paris, attended the India-France CEO’s Forum, and later in the evening, travelled to Marseille.

They travelled to Marseille in “the French presidential aircraft,” an exceptional gesture by President Macron, emblematic of the deep personal trust between the two leaders and the remarkable confidence they have in each other.
