Republic Day: Macron tour is very important in world politics
This visit of Macron is very important. The war between russia and Ukraine, the war between israel and Hamas is not only going on, but china is also bent on its hegemonic policy in the indian Pacific region. india and france have discussed all these topics in detail. france is also a regional power in the Indo-Pacific. Some French islands and naval bases are still in that area. Just a few days ago, Rainil Island, near Mauritius, which is a French island, has been given permission by france to india to use it under any circumstances.
Mauritius has already said that in case of any emergency or need, the indian Navy can use it for their strategic needs. Reinel Island is very suitable for this need. Be it Scorpion submarines or Rafale aircraft, our strategic and tactical alliance with france has increased. Going one step further, france has also talked about technical agreements and transfers.
In this context, a technology desk has also been created in collaboration with the indian Embassy. Who will see such things. If we see, after russia, france will be the only country with whom we will do something like this. We are currently acquiring 26 more Rafales, we are also acquiring 3 state-of-the-art submarines from france and considering the Indo-Pacific region, india is completely modernizing its navy. Seeing the need, india has just built its third naval base in Andaman. The expansion of the Navy has been going on for a long time and france is giving full support to india in it. He is sensing the threat of china and is working shoulder to shoulder with India. Be it space cooperation or technology transfer, france is cooperating with india at every level.
