PM Modi speaks to President Macron

Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed to French President Emmanuel Macron New Delhi’s support for a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict even as the two leaders “positively” assessed the India-France strategic ties.

Following a phone conversation with Mr. Macron, Mr. Modi said the strategic partnership between New Delhi and Paris will continue to play a key role in fostering global peace and stability.

The two leaders deliberated on ongoing efforts to bring an early end to the Ukraine conflict with the Prime Minister reiterating India’s call for early restoration of peace and stability in the region.

Mr. Macron was among the European leaders present during U.S. President Donald Trump’s talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy in White House last month.

“Had a very good conversation with President Macron. We reviewed and positively assessed the progress in bilateral cooperation in various areas,” Mr. Modi said on social media.
