Additionally, he is expected to visit the Gateway of India, and members of his delegation will attend a reception at Galeries Lafayette.
After his engagements in Mumbai, Macron will travel to New Delhi to participate in the AI Impact Summit on February 19. Macron will be the second world leader to be hosted by PM Modi in Mumbai, following UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s official visit to the financial capital in October 2025.
During his visit, Macron and Modi are expected to hold extensive discussions to deepen bilateral cooperation across multiple sectors as outlined in the Horizon 2047 Roadmap. In addition, the leaders will also discuss regional and global issues of mutual interest, including cooperation in the Indo-Pacific.
