PM Modi also attended a banquet dinner hosted by Macron at the Louvre museum in Paris, which is home to many popular artworks including the Mona Lisa. They also witnessed a firework display marking the end of Bastille Day.
Visuals from these events were part of the video. It also featured actor R Madhavan in a scene where President Macron was taking a selfie with PM Modi.
The Prime Minister departed from France on Saturday morning and returned to Delhi after a stopover in Abu Dhabi. In the Gulf city, PM Modi met the UAE President and key agreements were made between the two countries.
