Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met with French President Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of the G20 summit here and the two leaders had "productive discussions" on a range of issues of mutual and global interests.
Prime Minister Modi, who is here at the invitation of his Italian counterpart Mario Draghi, was accompanied by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar during his meeting with Mr Macron.
"Productive discussions between PM @narendramodi and President @EmmanuelMacron on the sidelines of the @g20org Summit. India and France are cooperating extensively in various sectors. Today's talks will add momentum to the bilateral ties between the two nations," the Prime Minister's Office tweeted.
