Paris: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in France, where he co-chaired the AI Action Summit and held bilateral talks with French President Emmanuel Macron. He also addressed business leaders, urging them to invest in India.
A video circulating on social media shows President Macron greeting world leaders at the AI Summit. Some users claimed he skipped shaking hands with PM Modi. However, this claim is misleading.
The video shows Macron and Modi entering the hall together and greeting Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Macron then moves ahead to shake hands with other leaders. Reports confirm that Macron and Modi had already met earlier and exchanged light-hearted conversations.
