India-France Dialogue
Indian and French policies are increasingly converging on ensuring stability in the Indian Ocean.

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday left for his 3-nation visit of France, Canada, and Germany, CNN-IBN’s Executive Editor Zakka Jacob discussed the key issues between India and France with panel of experts, including Carnegie’s Frederic Grare.
The discussion began with India’s potential acquisition of Rafale fighter aircraft from French manufacturer Dassault. Grare explained that while the deal has been in the works for years, it increasingly appears as though it will fall through. Even if it were concluded, Grare raised the question of India's capacity to absorb the technology transfers that it would entail. Grare also discussed the potential sale of French radar technology to India for use in the Indian Ocean, seeing it as an important aspect of Indian and French convergence on ensuring stability in the Indian Ocean. Finally, Grare commented on the progress of nuclear negotiations with Iran and the consequences for India, cautioning that “a framework is not a deal.”

Europe’s reaction to the war in Iran has been disunited and meek, a far cry from its previously leading role in diplomacy with Tehran. To avoid being condemned to the sidelines while escalation continues, Brussels needs to stand up for international law.

France has stopped clinging to notions of being a great power and is embracing the middle power moment. But Emmanuel Macron has his work cut out if he is to secure his country’s global standing before his term in office ends.
