Les entretiens d’aujourd’hui avec mon ami le Président Macron ont été exceptionnellement productifs. Au regard de l’amitié de longue date entre nos deux nations, nous avons décidé d’élever nos relations au rang de Partenariat stratégique global d’exception.
Nos échanges ont porté sur les moyens d’approfondir notre coopération dans des secteurs clés tels que la défense, la technologie, l’espace, la sécurité, la lutte contre le terrorisme, l’innovation, entre autres.
@EmmanuelMacron
Les échanges qui ont eu lieu à Bharat Innovates 2026, à Nice, ont été riches et instructifs.
J’ai pu m’entretenir avec des investisseurs et des dirigeants du capital-risque sur les opportunités considérables qu’offre l’Inde dans les domaines de l’innovation, de la technologie, de l’industrie manufacturière et des secteurs émergents.

India’s rollout of the cervical cancer (HPV) vaccine is truly a landmark prevention policy. Cervical cancer is largely preventable, yet remains a leading cause of cancer deaths among women in India. 🧵(1/n)
Two decades. 160+ countries. Proven safety.
Director General ICMR Dr. Rajiv Bahl reaffirmed that the HPV vaccine has been safely used worldwide for over 20 years and cannot cause infection. Mild side effects such as temporary redness or low-grade fever are rare, while serious adverse events are extremely uncommon.
In India, the vaccine has already been safely administered in the private sector. Now, under the Government programme, it will be provided free of cost after informed parental consent to all girls of 14 years of age, ensuring equitable access to life-saving protection against cervical cancer.
This is science-backed prevention in action, protecting girls before cancer can ever begin.

📢 WHO South-East Asia Region congratulates the Government of #India 🇮🇳 on the national launch of the HPV vaccination campaign.
Dr Catharina Boehme, Officer-in-Charge, WHO South-East Asia, said, “This landmark step, led at the highest level of government, reflects India’s strong commitment to protecting adolescent girls from cervical cancer.
India’s introduction of HPV vaccination at national scale will have far-reaching impact — accelerating progress not only for the country, but for the Region and the world. Despite being preventable, cervical cancer continues to claim the life of a woman every two minutes globally, and the WHO South-East Asia Region bears nearly one-quarter of the global burden.
With today’s milestone, nine of the ten countries in the Region now include HPV vaccination in their national immunization programmes — a powerful testament to growing regional momentum toward eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem.
WHO remains committed to support Member States achieve high and equitable coverage of vaccination, and to strengthen screening and treatment services in line with the global 90–70–90 targets for 2030 — vaccinating 90% of girls by age 15, screening 70% of women by ages 35 and 45, and ensuring 90% of women with pre-cancer and invasive cancer receive appropriate treatment.”
