"In Bengaluru, strengthening Indo-French space cooperation. Signing agreement for setting up a maritime surveillance centre in India -- exactly a year after French President Emmanuel Macron's state visit to India," tweeted French Ambassador to India Alexandre Ziegler.

The agreement was signed by CNES President Jean-Yves Le Gall and India's space agency Chairman K. Sivan in Bengaluru.

However, the details of where the maritime surveillance centre would be set up in India and by when were not shared.
