French President Emmanuel Macron says India is a “country of innovation” as he addresses the “Bharat Innovates” event. He highlights the relationship between India and France, describing it as a genuine partnership in areas viewed as critical, including artificial intelligence and climate change. Macron also comments on industrial cooperation, saying France respects India’s “Make in India” initiative and that French involvement extends across multiple sectors. The remarks place the India-France engagement within a broader framework of technology and climate collaboration, while reinforcing the role of manufacturing cooperation through “Make in India.”
The event’s themes, as reflected across the two accounts, focus on innovation-led collaboration and continued bilateral work in sectors such as AI and climate. Both sources report Macron’s characterisation of India as innovative and his acknowledgement of the importance of Make in India, while offering specific examples of partnership areas without detailing new policy measures or announcements.
