 Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has embarked on a three-day official visit to France and UAE, where he is expected to engage in productive discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron and his Emirati counterpart, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The visit aims to bolster the longstanding and time-tested partnership between India and these two nations, with a focus on strengthening cooperation across various domains, including defence, space, civil nuclear, trade, investment, education, culture, and people-to-people ties.

Meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron

PM Modi is looking forward to meeting French President Emmanuel Macron and holding wide-ranging discussions on taking forward the longstanding and time-tested partnership between India and France over the next 25 years. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the strategic partnership between India and France, rooted in deep trust and commitment. The two countries cooperate closely across various domains, including defence, space, civil nuclear, blue economy, trade, investment, education, culture, and people-to-people ties. They also work together on regional and global issues.

PM Modi has had the opportunity to meet President Macron several times since his last Official Visit to France in 2022, most recently in Hiroshima, Japan in May 2023 during the G-7 Summit. He is particularly excited to join President Macron for the French National Day, or Bastille Day celebrations in Paris as the Guest of Honour. An Indian tri-services contingent will be part of the Bastille Day Parade, while Indian Air Force aircraft will perform a fly-past on the occasion.

He will also meet the Indian community and leading CEOs from both nations.

UAE Visit

After his visit to France, PM Modi will be travelling to Abu Dhabi on July 15 for an Official Visit. He is looking forward to meeting his friend, H.H. Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi. India and UAE are engaged across various sectors, including fintech, defence, security, and energy.

Future of Partnership

Last year, President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed and PM Modi agreed on a Roadmap on the future of their partnership, and PM Modi is looking forward to discussing with him how to further deepen their ties. UAE will be hosting the 28th Conference of Parties of the UNFCCC (COP-28) later this year, and PM Modi is expected to exchange views on strengthening global cooperation towards accelerating climate action to facilitate the energy transition and implementation of the Paris Agreement.

Indian Air Force Performance

PM Modi has noted that Indian Air Force aircraft will perform a fly-past on the occasion of the French National Day, or Bastille Day celebrations in Paris.
