In an India Today special broadcast from Mumbai, former Indian Ambassador to France Jawed Ashraf discusses the significant elevation of the India-France strategic partnership following the meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Emmanuel Macron. Ashraf highlights that France is offering a ‘complete transfer of technology’ in critical sectors, including the design and development of fifth-generation fighter jet engines and the H-125 helicopter assembly line. He emphasizes that this partnership moves beyond a ‘buyer-seller relationship’ toward Indian sovereignty in defense and advanced technologies. The discussion also features Ambassador Yash Sinha and Air Marshal Anil Khosla, who analyze the impact of these deals on the Indian Air Force’s falling squadron numbers and the broader goal of a multipolar world. Ashraf notes that the relationship now spans artificial intelligence, space, and civil nuclear energy, aiming to prevent a global duopoly between China and the US while fostering indigenous Indian supply chains and high-tech skilling.
