Co-development, rather than co-production, will be the focus of India-France ties, as the two countries prepare to mark 25 years of their strategic partnership next week, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi travels to Paris to attend France’s National day parade.
On July 6, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval received his French counterpart Emmanuel Bonne, diplomatic advisor to French President Emmanuel Macron, with the “main agenda” of making preparations for the visit, government sources said.
“Defence, energy, space, new technologies and more: We are working on an ambitious agenda for the strategic partnership,” said a tweet from the French Embassy in Delhi.
