Modi to visit France from Feb 10-12

PM Modi will travel to the US after visiting France from February 10 to 12, where he is scheduled to co-chair the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris. He will discuss the future of artificial intelligence, its governance, and its role in shaping international policies.

This comes after a White House official released a statement confirming that Trump has invited Modi for talks next week.

Earlier also, Trump hinted at the visit as he told reporters last month that he had spoken to Modi and looked forward to hosting him in Washington.

PM Modi and Donald Trump have spoken to each other twice since the November 2024 US election results, the last conversation being on January 27.

On Jan 27, Trump spoke with Modi and discussed immigration and stressed the importance of India buying more American-made security equipment and fair bilateral trading ties.

They also had a conversation on bilateral trade and defence cooperation, with Trump emphasising on ‘fair trade’ and increased procurement of US security equipment.

Moreover, it also comes days after a US military plane deported 104 Indians who had illegally immigrated to the US.
