The leaders are expected to discuss cooperation across strategic, economic, technological and global issues.
"I have just landed in Nice. Beyond Nice, this visit to France includes programs in Évian and Paris. It will be marked by bilateral and multilateral meetings, aimed at strengthening India's bonds of friendship with its key development partners. I look forward to meeting President Macron tomorrow and being present at Bharat Innovates," PM Modi wrote on X.
