A special friendship marked by extraordinary gestures | India News

New Delhi: A unique aspect of PM Modi’s visit to France has been the time and respect given by President Macron to him.
On the first day, President Macron spent time with PM Modi at the dinner hosted by him. The camaraderie continued the next day at the AI Action Summit, where India and France co-hosted the summit.
Demonstrating their close ties, they hosted the India-France CEOs Forum together, reflecting their shared vision for economic collaboration.
In an extraordinary gesture of friendship, they traveled together in a joint motorcade and in the same plane to Marseille. President Macron hosted PM Modi for a working dinner in Marseille immediately on landing.
Today, this special bond will be further highlighted as President Macron joins PM Modi to inaugurate the Indian Consulate in Marseille. They will also visit the ITER project and the Marseille port together, underscoring the depth of this unique partnership.
Such proximity and time being given by a leader like Macron for any world leader is rare and rarely has any precedent.
