Before returning to India on May 4, Modi will meet President-elect Emmanuel Macron in France for the second time. Modi will be among the first leaders to meet Macron after his election victory.This visit of PM Modi to Europe is also considered important in the sense that Europe has been continuously asking India to reduce its dependence on Russia.

In such a situation, the PM can also discuss with these three countries to solve the crisis.
