For this reason, our strategic partnership has become even more relevant in the 21st century – both to strengthen multilateralism, which must be the basis of a stable multipolar world, and even more for the future of the Indo Pacific region.Ħ. That has produced decades of solidarity, most recently during the pandemic, and a relationship free from sudden shifts and surprises.ĥ. We are also bound by our shared belief in strategic autonomy and a multipolar world, underpinned by reformed and effective multilateralism. These traits define India-France relations. In these times, values, trust and transparency matter. It has stripped us of the comfort of the familiar, tested existing relationships, exerted stress on global institutions and is reshaping international order.Ĥ. The multiple crises facing the world are riding on the deeper global structural changes that have been sharpened by the pandemic. While this event is billed as Ambition India, it is really about the shared ambitions of India and France.ģ. Thank you, Business France, for organising the event.Ģ.
