PM Modi interacts with French President Macron on the sidelines of G20
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a brief interaction with French President Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of the G20 summit as they both discussed extensive cooperation on various aspects. "Today’s talks will add momentum to the bilateral ties between the two nations," PM Modi tweeted.
The meeting was conducted in Rome with EAM S Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval also present at the table.
This happens to be the first in-person meeting between the two leaders since the AUKUS trilateral security pact was announced. The two spoke last in September over a phone call where they discussed various regional issues including developments in Afghanistan, bilateral collaboration in the Indo-Pacific region and the importance of the India-France partnership.
PM Modi arrived at the venue of the G20 Summit in Rome for the first in-person G20 summit since the coronavirus pandemic took over the world.
