Macron and Modi strengthen ties at AI summit despite handshake speculation

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a two-day visit to France, focusing on economic and technological cooperation. He attended the AI Action Summit and the India-France CEOs Forum, marking his sixth visit to strengthen bilateral ties. A video circulating on social media suggests French President Emmanuel Macron ignored Modi by not shaking hands. However, this claim is misleading, as the two leaders had already greeted each other before entering the venue. The video in question is a short clip taken out of context. Following his engagements in France, Modi will continue his tour with a visit to the United States.
