PM Modi, Macron to have 'very thought-provoking discussions': Ambassador Singla | Interview

Firstpost  

The India-France relationship has emerged as one of the most dynamic and strategic partnerships on the global stage. Over the years, the bond has only grown stronger, highlighted by high-profile visits, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s presence as the Chief Guest at France’s Bastille Day celebrations and President Emmanuel Macron’s reciprocal visit to India for Republic Day. In this exclusive interview with the Firstpost Managing Editor Palki Sharma, India’s Ambassador to France Singla sheds light on how India and France are pioneering solutions to global challenges. He also discusses France’s plan to welcome 30,000 Indian students by 2030, the strategic importance of opening a new Indian consulate in Marseille and the potential for collaboration on small modular nuclear reactors. And that’s in response to how the world is changing around us, you know, whether it’s climate change, whether it’s emerging technologies like AI, which you referred to, whether it’s geopolitical developments.
