Mr. Doval last month visited Russia, where he met President Vladimir Putin on the margins of a conclave of national security advisors of the BRICS (Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa) nations in St Petersburg.

On Tuesday, Mr. Doval called on French President Emmanuel Macron, who stressed the value of India-France efforts to advance peace and address global challenges and appreciated Prime Minister Modi's initiatives.
Mr. Doval conveyed Prime Minister Modi's greetings to him and reiterated commitment to implement the India-France Horizon 2047 roadmap.
