India and France committed themselves to closer ties, especially in business and combating terrorism, just hours after French President Francois Hollande began his three-day visit to India here on Sunday and Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke protocol to welcome him. Addressing the India-France Business Summit, Modi said India and France had huge potential to work together in various fields. Modi pitched for investment in India by French companies, saying India had a lot to offer in terms of skilled workforce and as a market for French products. "We want to work closely with France... The world has accepted India as a good investment destination. India's talent and the manufacturing (skills) of France can achieve a lot. The trust and friendship with France is an asset for us," Modi said in his address. "India is the fastest growing economy in the world. We have the labour and the market for your products," Modi said at the India-France chief executives meeting along with Hollande, according to a tweet by external affairs ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup. Hollande, who will be the chief guest at India's 67th Republic Day parade in New Delhi on Tuesday, said: "Chandigarh is a very beautiful city... It's a gift from Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier to India. I welcome the idea of being called here."-
