Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dinner meeting with his friend French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday is expected to record positive movement in India-France strategic ties, encompassing defence cooperation, maritime partnership, and the Indo-Pacific.
Not only will PM Modi wish President Macron a successful second term in office, but the bilateral relations are expected to reach a new level with France actively collaborating with India in “Atmanirbhar Bharat” project in the defence sector.
The two leaders have lot of ground to cover in the strategic areas as the last two meetings of the strategic dialogue between Marcon’s diplomatic advisor Emmanuel Bonne and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval were postponed due to the indisposition of the French Diplomat. The last meeting was scheduled to take place in New Delhi on April 28 but was postponed.
