US EditionIn Phone Conversation, PM Modi and French President Macron Discuss Ongoing Efforts to Bring End to Conflict in Ukraine.
Modi and Macron emphasized India-France Strategic Partnership's role in global peace and endorsed diplomatic efforts to end the Ukraine conflict, involving 26 countries' commitments, officials said.
- On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a telephone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron to review bilateral cooperation and discuss efforts to end the Ukraine conflict, Modi said.
- Against a backdrop of intense diplomacy following the Paris summit, the call came amid fresh US initiatives and Macron's statement, `We have today 26 countries who have formally committed-- some others have not yet taken a position-- to deploy as a 'reassurance force' in Ukraine, or be present on the ground, in the sea, or in the air`.
- On cooperation, the two leaders assessed ties across defence, space and science, reviewing developments in economic, defence, science, technology and space sectors and reaffirming the India‑France Strategic Partnership aligned with Horizon 2047, Indo‑Pacific and Defence Industrial roadmaps.
- Both leaders agreed to stay in touch and work closely to promote global peace and stability, with Modi reiterating India's call for peaceful resolution through dialogue and readiness to support diplomatic efforts.
- Looking ahead, India's repeated high-level contacts position it as an intermediary between Moscow and Western capitals, with this second Modi-Macron conversation in less than a month following Modi's talks with President Vladimir Putin and calls with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
