French President Emmanuel Macron was welcomed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Air Force Station Palam last night. The French President is on a 3 day India visit during which the two countries would look to boost ties, especially in the areas of maritime security and counter-terrorism.

President Macron's India visit is crucial as India and France can benefit from a shared understanding of the challenges that the world is facing today with the global uncertainties produced by Trump's disruptive foreign policy and the lurch towards dictatorship in china that can only make the handling of its geopolitical ambitions more difficult.

On the first day of his India visit, President Macron will hold delegation-level talks with the Prime Minister following which the president will have an interactive session with over 300 students.
