Prime Minister was welcomed with a hug by French President Emmanuel Macron at a welcome dinner ahead of co-chairing the AI Summit in Paris.
“Delighted to meet my friend, in Paris,” Modi posted on X on Monday.
At the dinner, the prime minister also met US Vice President JD Vance, who is also in to attend the AI Summit.
“PM @narendramodi interacts with President @EmmanuelMacron and USA @VP @JDVance in Paris,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a post on X.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi arrived in Paris for the first leg of his two-nation tour that will later take him to the US.
During his three-day visit to France, Modi will co-chair the AI Action Summit with Macron in Paris, hold bilateral talks with him, and address business leaders.
