Modi-French President discusses bilateral issues: France reiterates its support for India’s inclusion in the Nuclear Suppliers Group during the visit
New Delhi, Dt
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the President of France discussed bilateral and global issues. The two leaders agreed to set an ambitious agenda for the next steps of the India-France Strategic Partnership. During Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to France, France reiterated its support for India’s inclusion in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). India’s involvement in the NSG is expected to accelerate its nuclear power. At the same time, India and France have agreed to maintain strong cooperation under the G20 draft. India has said it will hold talks with member countries to reach a decision on its efforts to join the NSG. The NSG is comprised of six countries that regulate the trade and transfer of nuclear technology and nuclear materials, as well as the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. China has opposed India’s involvement in the NSG. He argues that India did not sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. China’s opposition has made it difficult for India to join the group as the NSG adheres to the principle of consensus. France has supported reforms to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and India’s bid for permanent membership. This was stated in a joint statement issued after a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron. India has long called for reform of the Security Council, saying it deserves to be a permanent member of the Security Council. 3 are entitled to the Security Council. The World Organization has ten temporary members, elected by the United Nations General Assembly for a two-year term. Russia, China, Britain, France and the United States are its permanent members.
Only these standing countries have the power of veto, which has the power to allow any decision to be made or not. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron had in-depth discussions on bilateral and global issues and the two leaders agreed to set an ambitious agenda for the next phase of India-France strategic partnership. Prime Minister Modi arrived in Paris on Wednesday from Denmark on the last leg of his three-nation tour of Europe and held in-depth talks with Macron on various issues. Macron was re-elected to the post a week ago.
