“A warm gesture embodying the spirit of Indo-French partnership. PM Narendra Modi conferred with the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, the highest award in France by President Emmanuel Macron,” India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a statement.
The award was conferred by Macron at the Elysee Palace in Paris on Thursday evening.
“India and France are celebrating 25 years of strategic partnership made of trust and friendship, which are only getting stronger with time,” the French President stated in his welcome message for Indian PM Modi on Twitter.
The award is the 14th state honour to be bestowed upon by the Indian Prime Minister, making him the most decorated Indian leader. Last month, Modi was also conferred upon with the ‘Order of the Nile’, Egypt’s highest state honor, during a visit to Cairo.
