The administrative preparations to welcome French President Emmanuel Macron in Jaipur are in full swing. Meanwhile, after the programs related to the consecration of the Ram Lalla idol on Monday, the BJP will also make extensive preparations. The main guest for the Republic Day celebrations, Macron, will arrive in Jaipur a day earlier on January 25. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also be there to welcome him. During this visit, there will be a bilateral dialogue between Modi and Macron in Jaipur.
It is worth mentioning that the relations between India and France have been quite good. It can be estimated from the fact that in the last six months, there have been five meetings between Modi and Macron. Now, on January 25, the sixth meeting will take place.
France is India’s first strategic partner. The continuous meetings between the two countries have ensured progress in all dimensions of bilateral relations.
Discussion on space, defense, business etc
The upcoming meeting between Modi and Macron may involve significant discussions on issues such as science and technology, space, defence, education, and business. The bilateral dialogues between the two countries have already resulted in business worth more than 30 billion dollars.
