France will recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel one day, French President Emmanuel Macron told Jewish groups in Paris yesterday, Ynet News reported.
The French President will be accompanied by a business delegation of CEOs of 40 French companies, including those from the defence sector. "And this visit is going to coincide with an important milestone... the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the (India-France) strategic partnership".
France has military and naval bases in the IOR, which also has a sizeable French population.
Space cooperation is another aspect of the strategic partnership and Macron's visit is expected to add momentum to this.
