The reason is that France and India have had a strong partnership with its strategic partnership for the past 25 years almost. We’ve achieved a lot. We want to bring some peace and stability to this world.

French Foreign Minister elaborated that India and France work together not only on defence, and security but also on global issues and would like to do more.

“We work together not only on defence security but also on global issues. We’d like to do more and that’s the sense of visit. I’m just starting the visit. We’ll see some of your (Indian) ministers.
