    NEW DELHI : Amid border tensions at the Line of Actual Control (LAC), India held wide-ranging consultations with world powers on various subjects.

    Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla on Monday held video consultations with his French counterpart. ANI has learnt that during the conversation, France expressed keenness on working with India on the Indo-Pacific, especially the western Indian ocean. The discussion was held with Secretary General, MFA of France.

    India also held discussion with another major partner Germany last week, sources told ANI.

    "Both France and Germany expressed the desire to work with India on G20 related issues," a source said. India will assume the presidency of G20 in 2022.
