At the G7 Summit in Apulia, Italy, Indian PM Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed on June 14 to enhance strategic defence cooperation, emphasizing the "Make in India" initiative. France, a key defence partner, is set to supply 26 Rafale jets for the Indian Navy, supplementing the 36 jets delivered under a previous €7.87 billion deal. Discussions also included bilateral relations, focusing on the "Horizon 2047" roadmap and Indo-Pacific cooperation, and expanding ties in AI, emerging technologies, and energy. This collaboration aims to reinforce a stable global order and further Indo-French strategic partnership.
