New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today bid a warm farewell to French President Francois Hollande who left India after his three-day visit, expressing confidence that their discussions would further deepen the bilateral ties.
"Thank you President @fhollande for visiting India & gracing our Republic Day celebrations," said Prime Minister Modi in a tweet as the French President left the country.
"India's friendship with France is special... Am sure the discussions during President @fhollande's visit will further deepen our relations," he tweeted.
During his visit, French President Hollande visited Chandigarh and held talks with Prime Minister Modi.
The two sides signed 30 pacts, including a Memorandum of Understanding for the purchase of 36 French Rafale aircraft even though persisting differences over the pricing of the fighter jet came in the way of final multi-billion dollar deal being concluded.
