🇮🇳🤝🇫🇷 Thank You for Making This Event a Grand Success! 🇫🇷🤝🇮🇳
Dear Friends & Fellow Indians,
The Grand Inauguration of the New Indian Consulate in Marseille was a momentous occasion, marking a new chapter in Indo-French relations. It all began with the warm welcome of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on the night of 11th February 2025, followed by a prestigious dinner hosted by the Embassy of India at Intercontinental Marseille – Hotel Dieu, where esteemed dignitaries, members of the Indian diaspora, and friends of India in France gathered to celebrate this historic moment. The next morning, on 12th February 2025, the official inauguration ceremony of the consulate took place, solidifying India’s growing ties with France and its commitment to serving the Indian community in southern France.
From the depths of my heart, I extend my sincerest gratitude to all my fellow Indians who contributed to making this historic event an overwhelming success. Your passion, commitment, and presence were the driving forces behind its triumph—without you, this achievement would not have been possible.
A special note of appreciation to the dedicated members of L’Association Frehindi, who worked selflessly and tirelessly—voluntarily—to ensure everything unfolded seamlessly. Your efforts were not just about organizing an event but about strengthening the spirit of unity and collaboration that binds us as a community. It is moments like these that make us proud of our heritage and reinforce the values we hold dear.
I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. K.G. Praveen from the Indian Embassy, whose unwavering support and constant guidance played a pivotal role in making this event possible. His encouragement and insights were invaluable in bringing this vision to life.
This historic event also gave me the privilege of connecting with so many remarkable individuals—students, research scholars, entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, artists, yoga teachers, and visionaries—each of you contributing in your own unique way to the Indo-French relationship. Whether you are here for higher education, leading a startup, innovating in the corporate world, or promoting Indo-French arts and culture, your aspirations and achievements inspire us all.
