Trade, Tech, and Security: Inside PM Modi’s Three-Phase Visit to France
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent multi-stage visit to France, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri detailed a packed itinerary structured into three distinct phases. The trip commenced on June 14 in Nice before moving to Avignon on June 16 and 17, where the Prime Minister participated in the high-profile G7 and G7 Outreach summits. The diplomatic mission ultimately reached its conclusion today with a final series of engagements in Paris.
According to Foreign Secretary Misri, the overarching themes of the visit centered on three deeply intertwined priorities: advancing trade, driving innovation in technology, and addressing critical matters of regional and global security. Technology, in particular, served as the focal point that framed the entire journey. This digital and innovation-focused theme was highlighted by a prominent technology event at the start of the trip in Nice and mirrored at its conclusion today, where the Prime Minister attended another major tech gathering in Paris.
