Abstract

This research paper provides an in-depth examination of the multifaceted relationship between India and France, spanning historical milestones, contemporary collaborations and agreements, and potential future partnerships and trajectories. The study encompasses diplomatic treaties, geopolitical strategies, mutual agreements, and the evolving dynamics that characterize this bilateral relationship. Through a meticulous exploration of historical interactions, examination of current partnerships, and forward-looking analysis, the paper aims to illuminate the factors contributing to the strategic significance and potential growth of the Indo-French relationship especially in the contemporary situations through which the world is going on right now. This paper throws light on how the world has changed since India and France started their cooperation. The world is going through a recent turmoil caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, long-standing civil wars in the Middle East, India’s diplomacy in its neighbourhood, the South China Sea, India’s bid for permanent support to the United Nations Security Council, and much more. This is the time to have a good and healthy relationship between India and countries like France, the USA and other developed countries so that India can gain more acceptance in the region and the world forums.
