Before the AI Impact Summit 2026 to be held in New Delhi, French President Emmanuel Macron shared a special picture of himself with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media. This picture is not real but was created with Artificial Intelligence (AI). While posting the photo on X, Macron wrote, ‘When friends meet, new work begins. Ready for AI Impact Summit!’ He also clearly wrote that this picture was created with AI.
In the picture, PM Modi and Macron are standing together and making the heart sign with both their hands. There are two cups placed on the table in front of him, on which the flags of India and France are drawn. This picture shows the friendship and strong relationship between the two countries. Macron has come on a tour of India. He will participate in the AI Impact Summit in Delhi and will also hold a special meeting in Mumbai. This is his fourth official visit to India.

India and France will open centers
During this tour, India and France together have planned to open many new centres. These include a center for AI in Health, a center for Digital Science and Technology and a center for Aeronautics Training. Macron said in an event that now the question is not whether India is moving forward or not, but who will move forward with India. He said that France wants to work together with India.
Many big projects of India and France
India and France have already started many big projects together, such as the International Solar Alliance and the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor. Macron’s AI picture and the summit announcements show that the relationship between India and France is now getting stronger, especially in the field of technology and innovation.
