Ministry of Foreign Affairs addressed a press conference in Paris as Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his brief visit to France on May 04.

When asked if the talks concerning defence cover Rafale aircrafts or not, Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra said, “India-France have a strong defence partnership which is defined not just by trade in different platforms. This is very much in sync with our own domestic policy of 'Aatmanirbharta' which extends strongly in field of defence.”
