Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended his best wishes to French President Emmanuel Macron for the successful conduct of the Paris Olympics. This goodwill gesture took place during their meeting on the sidelines of the ongoing G7 summit.
The quadrennial sports showcase will run from July 26 to August 11, and expectations are high for Indian athletes. Close to a hundred have already qualified, with the number expected to rise further. Notably, the Indian contingent will include 21 shooters, and Neeraj Chopra, who won India's first-ever track-and-field gold at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, will be a podium hopeful.
This meeting marks Modi's first foreign trip since his re-election for a third term. The leaders last met in January during India's 75th Republic Day celebrations. This continuity in diplomatic relations underscores the camaraderie between the two nations as they approach a major global event.
