| Summary/Abstract |
The Indo-French Strategic Partnership has been instrumental in bringing a remarkable turnaround in bilateral relations between New Delhi and Paris. What was hitherto a low-key relationship during the Cold War years, post-1998, India and France have set the momentum to build multidimensional ties of strategic nature and substance. In core areas like defence and security, the partnership has transformed from a clientele relationship to joint collaboration in areas like defence manufacturing, exchange of military doctrines and developing a common understanding on international security issues.
