"UPI will be used in France, India and France have agreed. When we reach a consensus, I'll depart. However, it is your responsibility to proceed.

The problems of the 21st century are being met by India and France in diverse ways. Thus, the strategic alliance between our countries has become even more important at this vital moment, he continued.
A formal greeting was given to the Prime Minister as he arrived in Paris on Thursday on a two-day official visit. Elisabeth Borne, the French prime minister, met him at the airport.
India's mobile-based payment system, known as Unified Payments Interface (UPI), enables users to send payments at any time using a virtual payment address they generate themselves.
An agreement enabling users in any nation to conduct cross-border transactions was inked earlier this year between UPI and Singapore's "PayNow."
