French President Emmanuel Macron will pay a three-day visit to India from February 17 to 19 at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Tuesday.
According to an official statement issued by the MEA, the two leaders will hold wide-ranging discussions aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation across key sectors under the Horizon 2047 Roadmap.
“In addition, the leaders will discuss regional and global issues of mutual interest, including cooperation in the Indo-Pacific,” the statement said.
During the visit, President Macron and Prime Minister Modi will travel to Mumbai to jointly inaugurate the India–France Year of Innovation, which will be celebrated throughout 2026 in both countries.
On February 19, President Macron is scheduled to participate in the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, the MEA added.
