Watch again: Macron and Modi give joint statement after Bastille Day military parade

Watch again as Emmanuel Macron and Narendra Modi give a joint statement at the Elysee Palace after watching the Bastille day parade on Friday, 14 July. The Indian prime minister was a guest of honour at the military parade earlier in the day, which saw members of the Indian army march alongside French troops down the Champs-Elysees accompanied by a marching band. During the parade, French-made Rafale fighter jets India bought in 2015 took part in a fly-past over the Arc de Triomphe. As part of his two-day visit, Mr Modi was granted the Legion of Honour, France's highest award, on Thursday. Mr Modi's visit has been criticised by human rights organisations who say they are concerned about the perceived growing authoritarian nature of his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party and accusations of discrimination against minorities.
