Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron greeted PM Modi at the India-France CEO Forum.

“It is a matter of great pleasure for me to join this Summit with President Macron. This is our sixth meeting in the last two years. Last year, President Macron was the Chief Guest on our Republic Day. This morning, we co-chaired the AI Action Summit together. I heartily congratulate President Macron on this successful Summit,” said the Prime Minister.

PM Modi also highlighted India's achievements in AI, space technology and the 'Make in India' programme at the event.

The Prime Minister further stated that today, India is rapidly becoming a preferred global investment destination.

“You are aware of the transformative changes that have taken place in India in the last decade. We have established an ecosystem of stable and predictable policy. Following the path of reform, perform and transform, India is the fifth-largest economy in the world. The world's fastest-growing major economy is soon going to become the third-largest economy in the world,” said PM Modi.

“Our identity on the global stage is that today, India is rapidly becoming a preferred global investment destination. We have launched the Semiconductor and Quantum Missions and are encouraging 'Make in India' and 'Make for the World' in the defence sector too," PM Modi told the gathering.
