  • According to joint communique released after the summit, the leaders discussed a range of issues including (but not limited to) their strategic cooperation, geopolitics in the Indo-Pacific region, the war in Ukraine, and the situation in Afghanistan.
  • India was conspicuously absent from the paragraph on "strong condemnation of the unlawful and unprovoked aggression against Ukraine by Russian Forces" which was "reiterated" by the French side.

The two leaders agreed that close coordination and engagement was important so that both India and France can play a constructive role in the evolving situation."
  • Both sides expressed concern about civillian casualties of the Ukraine war and "the current aggravation of global food security and nutrition," pledging to work towards addressing the risk of aggravated food crisis.
