New Delhi: French defence minister Jean-Yves Le Drian will visit India soon as the two countries work towards finalising the deal for 36 Rafale fighter jets.
Mr Drian had visited India last month as well.
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had last month said that talks would be completed in "2-3 months".
The government has set up a committee headed by Air Marshal SBP Sinha who is undertaking the government-to-government negotiations with France for procurement of Rafale fighter jets for the Indian Air Force.
Mr Parrikar had termed as "economically unviable" the previous UPA government's USD 20 billion deal for purchase of the 126 Rafale fighter planes more than three years after France's Dassault Aviation was declared the lowest bidder.
