"Discussions were also held on India’s G20 presidency, issues related to Indo-Pacific and on regional and global issues. Ambitious outcome documents adopted including Horizon 2047," Bagchi added.
Earlier Prime Minister Modi in a tweet said: "President Emmanuel Macron and I met top CEOs to discuss ways to diversify business cooperation. I highlighted the reforms in India and urged entrepreneurs to harness the many opportunities our nation offers."
The roadmap of India-France cooperation in the Indo-Pacific was among the outcomes of Prime Minister Modi's visit to France.
