Germany's Withdrawal Offers an Opportunity for India to Join Future Combat Air System

Press/Media: Research

Description

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s June 2026 visit to France was more than a routine diplomatic engagement; it was a clear signal that the India-France partnership is moving into a new strategic phase. In his discussions with President Emmanuel Macron, Modi covered the full spectrum of bilateral ties under the recently elevated Special Global Strategic Partnership, but the real significance of the visit lay in its forward-looking innovation agenda. The adoption of the Innovation Roadmap 2030 and the creation of a bilateral AI Working Group indicate that New Delhi and Paris are no longer content with a relationship anchored only in defence and diplomacy. They are now seeking to position innovation, advanced technology and artificial intelligence at the centre of their strategic partnership.
