India sent across message of peace and unity to world: Macron

As G20 President, India did its best to send across a message of unity and peace to the world while Russia was still waging its aggression against Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday.

Considering the current fragmented environment, India has done well as G20 president, Macron noted at a media briefing here after the Summit concluded.

Referring to the India-French strategic partnership, he said the relationship is much more than bilateral engagement and that the two countries have to work towards resisting the fragmentation of the world.

On Indo-French defence ties, Macron, without giving specific details, said additional contracts and procurements will follow in months and years to come.
