New Delhi :-After arriving at Delhi French President Francois Hollande, Both leaders, French President and Indian Prime Minister on Monday inked an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) on the sale of 36 French fighter jets, Rafale, but were unable to sign the final deal due to some “financial” aspects.
This agreement was at least 14 pacts inked between the two countries after extensive talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Francois Hollande which highlighted ways to increase cooperation in counter-terrorism, security and civil nuclear energy. ‘’India and France have signed Inter-Governmental Agreement on purchase of 36 Rafale fighter jets. We expect that even the financial aspects pertaining to purchase of Rafale jets will be resolved as soon as possible,” Modi said. However, the final deal is yet to be sealed as both sides are still negotiating the price which is estimated to be about Rs 60,000 crore. A high-level team from France is here and carrying out last minute negotiations. The two countries reiterated their call for Pakistan to bring to justice their perpetrators and the perpetrators of the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, which also caused the demise of two French citizens, and to ensure that such attacks do not recur in the future, a joint statement issued after the talks said.
