"President @EmmanuelMacron and I met top CEOs to discuss ways to diversify business cooperation. I highlighted the reforms in India and urged entrepreneurs to harness the many opportunities our nation offers," the Prime Minister said in a tweet.
PM Modi also exhorted the business leaders of India and France to work towards accelerating the journey of friendship between the two countries.
The business community of the nations has contributed a lot in strengthening bilateral ties, he said.
"I would like you to work for accelerating and strengthening this great journey of the two nations," he said while committing to extend full support to them in their endeavour on behalf of Indian and French leadership.
Observing that India and France have completed 25 years of strategic partnership, PM Modi said the business leaders of the two countries have played a big role in the long journey.
