France has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit Paris as a guest at the annual Bastille Day parade in July.
It is a French military parade that has been held on the morning of 14 July each year in Paris since 1880.
This would be the first time in over a decade that an Indian Prime Minister will attend the annual military parade, since Manmohan Singh was invited as the Bastille Day parade guest in 2009.
It is also one of the oldest regular military parades in the world.
The fall of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 is widely regarded as the beginning of the French Revolution.
This day is marked as the National Day of France.
