Modi, Macron discuss West Asia and security in Hormuz

Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron and discussed the situation in West Asia, with both leaders emphasising the need to urgently restore safety and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. In a post on X about his telephonic conversation with Macron, Prime Minister Modi said on Thursday, "We will continue our close cooperation to advance peace and stability in the region and beyond."
On March 5, Modi and Macron had spoken over the phone, and discussed their "shared concerns" over the evolving situation in West Asia, and the need for a return to dialogue and diplomacy. The conflict in West Asia has now stretched to nearly 50 days.
External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar had called on President Macron during his visit to Paris, last month. In February, the French President had paid an official visit to India which focused on strengthening the strategic partnership between India and France. Both leaders had inaugurated the India-France Year of Innovation 2026 and later attended the AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi.
