India-France partnership lifeline amid geopolitical tension: CJI Surya Kant
Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant on Friday said the forces of disruption and geopolitical tension threaten to destabilise the very framework of international cooperation and in such a world, the France-India partnership is not a luxury but a lifeline.
Speaking at the Indo-French Legal and Business Conference, the CJI said the relationship between the two countries has long transcended the purely diplomatic and is instead a multi-dimensional architecture, encompassing everything from the sanctity of the defence and security cooperation to a shared pursuit of sustainable growth and advanced technologies.
"We have witnessed a remarkable acceleration in our bilateral trade, which has more than doubled over the last decade, surging from USD 6.4 billion in 2009-10 to an impressive USD 15.11 billion in the last fiscal year" he said.
