Post the AI Summit, both leaders traveled to Marseille together. Upon arrival there, PM Modi tweeted, 'I have landed in Marseille. This city holds special significance in India's freedom struggle. It was here that the brave Veer Savarkar made his daring escape attempt. I extend my gratitude to the people of Marseille and those French activists of the time who demanded he not be turned over to British custody. Veer Savarkar's courage will continue to inspire generations!'
