In a tweet, PM Modi thanked French President Emmanuel Macron and said he looked forward to celebrating France’s National Day with him. To mark this milestone, an Indian armed forces contingent will participate in the Bastille Parade alongside their French counterparts.

“The PM’s visit is expected to herald the next phase in the India-France Strategic Partnership by setting new and ambitious goals for our strategic, cultural, scientific, academic, economic cooperation,” a statement by French President’s Office read.

“India and France have a shared vision on peace and security, especially in Europe and the Indo-Pacific, and uphold the objectives and the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, which are also the basis of our cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region.
