PM Modi: On September 6, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron talked on the phone about ending the war between Russia and Ukraine as soon as possible. This shows that global alliances are changing. The talk not only drew attention to the importance of working towards peace, but it also highlighted how the strategic relationship between India and France is evolving at a time when the global order appears to be shifting.
Trump and Macron talk about the peace push in Ukraine.
PM Modi was told by French President Emmanuel Macron what happened at the Coalition of the Willing meeting in Paris. At the meeting, 26 countries promised to help Ukraine by providing long-term security promises after the war is over. This showed that Europe and its friends, like Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Canada, are working together to make Ukraine’s defence system stronger.
A shared goal for a fair and long-lasting peace
Macron said that India and France are working together to make peace in Ukraine that is fair and lasts. He said, “We will keep moving forward together to find this path to peace, building on our friendship and our strategic partnership.” Modi said the same thing on social media, emphasising India’s ongoing role in attempts to build peace around the world.
India and France are getting closer.
The two leaders also talked about the Horizon 2047 Roadmap, the Indo-Pacific Roadmap, and the Defence Industrial Roadmap. They talked about working together on trade, science, defence, and space. Modi also thanked Macron for agreeing to attend the AI Impact Summit in February 2026, which India had invited him to.
Regularly engaging in diplomatic activities.s
Last week, there were a lot of high-level encounters. A few weeks before, on August 21, 2025, Modi and Macron talked about the war in Ukraine and the problems in West Asia. They talk to each other a lot, which shows that both countries are working towards a common strategic goal during a time of geopolitical change.
The World Order Is Changing
The meeting between Modi and Macron is seen as a sign of how the balance of power in the world is changing as countries reorganise and new blocs form. People are noticing that former U.S. President Donald Trump is not part of the new wave of diplomacy as Europe, India, and their partners try to make peace. Still unanswered is the question of whether Trump is looking at the world changes.
