As part of efforts to deepen their strategic partnership, India and France have discussed supply chain vulnerabilities, critical technologies, cyber security and safeguarding strategic supplies during Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri's visit to Paris.
The Ministry of External Affairs said ‘Both sides noted that the dialogue complemented the Innovation Roadmap 2030, India-France Year of Innovation, the existing Economic and Financial Dialogue and the objective of doubling bilateral trade in the next five years. They agreed to work on the priorities identified during the dialogue.’
India-France bilateral trade has more than doubled over the past decade, reaching 13.6 billion euros (approximately $15 billion) in 2025-26. France is India's third-largest trading partner in the European Union, after the Netherlands and Germany.
