PM Modi leaves for US after a 'productive visit' to France, Macron sees him off at airport

Paris/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi left for the United States after a "productive visit" to France.

French President Emmanuel Macron came to the airport to see him off. The two leaders also exchanged a warm hug.

PM Modi left for Washington DC for the second leg of his two-nation visit after his visit at Marseille in France.

PM Modi attended programmes ranging from AI, commerce, energy and cultural linkages during his visit to France.

"Thank you France! A productive visit concludes, where I attended programmes ranging from AI, commerce, energy and cultural linkages. Gratitude to President @EmmanuelMacron and the people of France," PM Modi said in a post on X.

This will be PM Modi's first visit to the US after Donald Trump assumed office in January this year after coming back to power for a historic second term.

The visit also comes amid a massive row in India over the deportation of 104 Indian migrants recently who were chained and handcuffed during the process and the entire 24-hour flight.

Opposition leaders have slammed the Modi government over the way the deportation has been carried out.
