Addressing the Indian diaspora in Paris during his visit to France, Modi said that trust has become as important as trade in today’s interconnected world. He noted that countries are looking for reliable long-term partners, and India is increasingly being seen as a dependable nation for cooperation across sectors.
The Prime Minister said India is making significant investments in areas that will drive future growth, innovation and opportunities for coming generations.

Modi also highlighted the expansion of India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) in France and referred to ongoing trade and economic partnerships with major global economies.
