In India on a ‘charm offensive’, Paris Region president Valerie Pecresse is leading a delegation to promote the Region to Indian decision-makers. Pecresse, who spoke to the press at a south Mumbai hotel on Monday evening, is accompanied on her five-day India visit by Alexandra Dublanche, Chairwoman of Choose Paris Region, the Paris Region attractiveness agency and others in the French delegation.
The numbers
Pecresse dubbed the visit a “charm offensive” to see that more Indians visit France. Pecresse said first, “The Franco-Indian relationship has significantly strengthened in recent years, and still our relationship is too small. We have a lesser number of Indian tourists compared to Australians, who number 5 lakh in a year and 1 million from China.” She also stressed that the countries must work to increase Indian student numbers in France.
