The two countries have planned on the blue economy and ocean governance pathway. India and France intend to benefit from the blue economy and adopt sustainable practices to safeguard the environmental, coastal, and marine resources and biodiversity. The Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research (CEFIPRA/IFCPAR) will oversee the project's progress.
