PM Modi's France Visit: Deal for 26 Rafale M expected to be finalised sans glitches | Oneindia News

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has departed from India for an official visit to France and UAE this morning.

He is visiting France at the official invitation of President Emmanuel Macron from July 13 to 14.

A major defence acquisition pact and an exhaustive bilateral engagement are expected to be the most important highlight of the trip.

PM Modi is expected to announce the purchase of an additional 26 Rafale jets for use on the INS Vikrant aircraft carrier.

Besides, three Scorpene-class submarines, to be built in collaboration with France, are also slated to be finalized during this visit.

In 2016, India had inked a deal to procure 36 Rafale fighter jets from france, all of which have since been delivered.

All of those jets were procured for the Indian Air Force.

This time the deal is to be finalised for 26 Rafale aircrafts meant for the Indian navy.

The Rafale jets meant for the Navy and Air Force are different from each other.

The naval version of the Rafale is designed to operate from aircraft carriers.

So far, India's aircraft carriers INS Vikramaditya and Vikrant have been operating the MiG-29s and they need the Rafales for their operations.

PM Modi’s Adani-Ambani Jibe: Rahul Gandhi Hits Back, Questions If Adani-Ambani give the PM Money

Rahul Gandhi hit back at PM Modi for the allegations levelled against him by the Prime Minister. “Mr Narendra Modi, Do Adani-Ambani fill you in a 'tempo' and give you money? Is this your personal experience? Do one thing- send CBI, ED to them. Get a thorough investigation done, don't panic,” Rahul Gandhi Said. Earlier, the Congress also responded to PM Modi's “Shehzada getting black money from Adani-Ambani?" jibe at Rahul Gandhi, saying the Wayanad MP has finally forced the Prime Minister to expose corruption by making serious allegations against industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani. #RahulGandhi #RahulGandhiHitsBack #RahulGandhiAdaniAmbaniJibe #PMModiinTelangana #PMModiTelangana #Telangana #TelanganaNews #PMModiSpeech #AdaniAmbani #MukeshAmbani #GautamAdani #CongressvsBJP #LokSabhaElections2024 #Elections2024 #LSElections24 #Oneindia ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~

‘Death to Xi’: Massive Anti-China Protests In France Ruin Xi’s Meet With Macron | Oneindia

As Chinese leader Xi Jinping touched down in France on Sunday (May 5) for a state visit, all eyes turned to Paris where President Emmanuel Macron aims to navigate delicate diplomatic waters. Macron is anticipated to leverage the visit to press Xi for a firmer stance against Russia amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, even before Xi's arrival, the streets reverberated with the voices of Tibetan protesters, highlighting the contentious issue of China's occupation of Tibet. Since the annexation by the People's Republic of China in 1951 following the Battle of Chamdo, Tibet's sovereignty has been a persistent source of tension, underscored by China's assertion of control over the region from January 1, 1950. Against this backdrop, Macron's diplomatic balancing act takes center stage, emblematic of the intricate dance between global powers and human rights advocacy. #FranceProtests #AntiChina #XiJinping #MacronMeeting #TibetanProtest #XiVisit #FranceChinaRelations #PoliticalProtest #HumanRights #FreeTibet #Democracy #ProtestAction #GlobalActivism #Solidarity #FreedomOfExpression ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~
