The India-France Horizon 2047 Roadmap (2023) and the Future of Bilateral Cooperation

India and France established diplomatic relations in 1947, shortly after India's independence, and have emerged as long-standing strategic partners in the Indo-Pacific. Over the decades, France became one of India's most stable and trusted strategic partners. In 1998, France became the first major Western country to establish a strategic partnership with India. Since then both countries have maintained a consistent partnership founded on deep mutual trust, adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter, and shared values anchored in international law.
