PM Narendra Modi To Be Emmanuel Macron's Guest Of Honour At France's Bastille Day Parade In July
PM Narendra Modi has accepted French President Emmanuel Macron's invitation to be guest of honour at Bastille Day parade.
French President Emmanuel Macron has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the guest of honour for their traditional military parade on 14 July, which Modi has accepted, according to the French presidency.
The Indian armed forces will join the French forces in the parade, according to the presidency, marking Bastille Day.
The storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789 has been commemorated in France for more than a century. The national holiday typically involves "solemn military parades and easygoing dancing and fireworks."
Modi's trip will coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the "strategic partnership" between the two countries.
"This historic visit will also allow joint initiatives to take on the big challenges of our time, such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and the achievement of sustainable development targets," a statement said.
