In France, defense ties are expected to take center stage, with potential agreements for the purchase of 26 Rafale Marine fighter jets and 3 Scorpene-class submarines likely to be finalized.
France has consistently supported India on key issues like Kashmir and terrorism at the UN. Notably, after the 1998 Pokhran nuclear tests, India conducted its first joint naval exercise, ‘Varun,’ with France, marking a strong defense collaboration.
