Additionally, he stated that French and Indian business leaders are working together to develop new prospects in important industries, which he thinks will spur investment and growth for coming generations.

"This is more than just a business event; it is a gathering of the best minds from India and France," Prime Minister Modi said during his remarks. "You are dedicated to advancing progress with a purpose by living up to the maxims of elevation, innovation, and teamwork. Beyond forging boardroom connections, you are actively reinforcing India and France's strategic partnership."

He went on to say that India and France share deep trust and common values, adding, "India and France aren't just linked by democratic values. Our friendship is built on deep trust, innovation, and service to others. Our relationship is not limited to our two countries. Together, we are providing solutions to global problems.
