France India Foundation

May 2, 2023

The France India Foundation (FIF) is a private, not-for-profit organization that was set up to promote meaningful dialogue between young leaders from India and France. The foundation was launched by the France Asia Foundation and has the support of both the Ministry of External Affairs and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Young Leaders Program

The flagship program of FIF is the Young Leaders Program. This program aims to identify and nurture promising young leaders from various fields, including business, politics, sports, and culture. The first cohort of the program had 25 young leaders from India and France.

The Young Leaders Program took place in New Delhi and Bangalore and provided a platform for young leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue, learn from each other’s experiences and perspectives, and build lasting relationships. The program aims to leave a mark on Indo-French ties in the years to come.

FIF’s Agenda

Apart from the Young Leaders Program, the France India Foundation aims to organize thematic conferences, knowledge papers, media-based partnerships, and art and science dialogues. These initiatives aim to facilitate and enhance dialogue between India and France on a range of issues and promote understanding and cooperation between the two nations.

The France Asia Foundation

The France Asia Foundation is a foundation headquartered in Paris that promotes dialogue, mutual understanding, sustainable development, and cooperation with the Indo-Pacific region. The foundation launched the France India Foundation, which aims to strengthen ties between France and India, especially among young leaders.

Renewed Strategic Partnership

France and India share a strategic partnership that is over 25 years old and is set to be renewed this year. The France India Foundation has the potential to further strengthen this partnership by fostering strong ties between young leaders from both nations.
