The two leaders spoke over the phone on Thursday, reviewing bilateral ties as well as key global challenges.
In a post on X, President Macron said that both countries had aligned their positions on the Russia-Ukraine war, agreeing on the need for a just and lasting peace underpinned by strong guarantees for Ukraine and Europe's security.

Prime Minister Modi described his interaction with Macron as "very good," noting that discussions included joint efforts for the peaceful resolution of conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia, alongside expanding cooperation in strategic areas.
The renewed push in India-France ties comes at a delicate moment in international trade, with President Donald Trump recently doubling tariffs on Indian goods to 50 per cent. In parallel, Washington has also imposed a 15 per cent tariff on exports from the European Union, including France, adding another layer of complexity to the economic landscape.
