Your visit will boost India-France friendship: PM Modi vs. Emmanuel Macron

“Your visit and participation in the Republic Day celebrations will certainly strengthen the friendship between India and France,” Modi said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent visit to India and participation in the Republic Day celebrations will definitely strengthen the friendship between India and France.

The French President was on a two-day visit to India last month and was the chief guest at the Republic Day celebrations here on January 26.

Macron shared a video montage of the visit on X on Sunday, writing: “A look back at an exceptional trip in India.”

Prime Minister Modi tagged his post and said, “It was an honor to have you in India, President @EmmanuelMacron.”

“Your visit and participation in the Republic Day celebrations will certainly strengthen the friendship between India and France,” Modi said.

India and France on January 26 unveiled an ambitious defense industrial roadmap for joint development of critical military hardware, and strengthened a space situational awareness program, while the Tata Group and Airbus announced to jointly build H125 helicopters, following talks between Modi and Macron.
