There's a lot of trust of confidence at every level, obviously between our leaders, but all over the board.

You know how French people are attached to food, to hospitality, to this... And so when we can share it with friends abroad and obviously India, given the ties we have with India, India the connoisseurs we have in India, the same passion for life, I think it's a wonderful experience. And this corner blue has been working here and with Goenka University for more than ten years. It's a very positive, fruitful collaboration. So I'm very happy to see that relationship between India and France."France and India are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the signature of the Indo-French Strategic Partnership.France's Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs on Thursday said the two countries must use this opportunity to write a new chapter in their strategic partnership in all fields."Today, on the occasion of India's Republic Day, we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the signature of the Indo-French Strategic Partnership," France's Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs Spokesperson said on Thursday, according to a press briefing issued on the Embassy of France in Washington D.C's website.A concrete example of the increasing India-French cooperation across spheres was illustrated by the stop made by the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in Goa last weekend, following the joint Indo-French exercise 'Varuna'.The two countries have also developed a partnertship in a wide range of strategic fields, ranging from submarines to combat aviation and climate change, via the International Solar Alliance, the ministry spokesman said.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
