During his visit to France, PM Modi will attend the celebrations of the French National Day, or Bastille Day, in Paris as the Guest of Honour.
An Indian tri-services contingent will be part of the Bastille Day Parade, the Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra told the media on Wednesday.
"This year marks the 25th anniversary of our strategic partnership," PM Modi said in his departure statement.
India and France will enhance cooperation across various domains including space, civil nuclear, blue economy, trade, investment and culture, he added.
