New Delhi (TIP): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday departed on a six-day visit to France and Slovakia, during which he will hold talks with French President Emmanuel Macron, undertake the first-ever visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Slovakia since its independence and participate in the G7 Summit in France, where he said India would articulate the aspirations of the Global South.
In his departure statement, Modi said France occupies a special place in India’s strategic vision and noted that bilateral ties had been elevated to a Special Global Strategic Partnership during President Macron’s visit to India earlier this year. “At the G7, India will not only speak for itself, but it will also give voice to the aspirations of the Global South,” the Prime Minister said, describing India’s invitation to the grouping for the eighth consecutive summit as a reflection of the trust reposed in the country by its partners and its growing global profile.
Modi said he would meet President Macron in Nice to review the progress made since February and chart the next steps in bilateral cooperation, besides exchanging views on pressing global issues of mutual interest.
