Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday congratulated “friend” Emmanuel Macron on his re-election as the French President for another five-year term.
Calling Macron his “friend”, the Indian PM took to Twitter to say that he looks forward to working with the French leader to bolster the strategic ties between Delhi and Paris.
“Congratulations to my friend
@EmmanuelMacron on being re-elected as the President of France! I look forward to continue working together to deepen the India-France Strategic Partnership,” Modi wrote.
Modi is likely to embark on a five-day tour of Europe next week. During his proposed visit from May 2 to 6, he is likely to hold bilateral meetings with the French President and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
