Hollande will be the fifth French leader to be a Chief Guest at India’s Republic Day celebrations – the maximum number from any country so far, with earlier such visits being in 1976, 1980, 1998 and 2008.

Mr Richier said the second focus will be climate change, and both sides will follow up on the decisions taken at the Paris climate conference.

The president also announced a visit to Egypt, Jordan and Oman, without giving a date, saying: “We must do everything to work together for stability in the region”.
