Bureau de France, the branch office of Consulate General of France in Bengaluru, was inaugurated at T-Hub, Raidurg, here on Wednesday.
The centre will work on enhancing economic outreach, as a bridge in investment and business relations with Telangana. The office, however, will not issue visas. The visa section services will continue through its Consulate General of France in Bengaluru, Pondicherry, Mumbai and Kolkata.
According to Ambassador of France to India Thierry Mathou, the decision to choose Hyderabad as the branch office was significant and strategic, for the growing interests in Telangana, especially the French investment in aerospace, defence, transport, agri-food, and pharmaceutical industries, among others in the recent years.
