The clarification comes after the final draft of the India-France joint statement issued in Paris during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit last week missed any specific mention of these deals.
India and France will soon begin negotiations into deals for 26 Rafale aircraft and three Scorpene class submarines for the Indian Navy, sources have clarified to NDTV.
The clarification comes after the final draft of the India-France joint statement issued in Paris during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit last week missed any specific mention of these deals, which had earlier been cleared by the Defence Acquisition Committee of the Ministry of Defence.
Sources now say the Rafale deal was not included in the statement as it is a 25-year roadmap.
