Macron wrote, "Medical supplies, ventilators, and oxygen, as well as eight oxygen generators, will be sent to India by France. By producing oxygen from the ambient air, each generator will make a hospital self-sufficient for ten years. Our ministries' offices are putting in long hours. Our French companies are mobilising, and their numbers are growing!"

"Solidarity is at the core of our country," said the French President. It is at the heart of our countries' friendship. We will win together.

Indians have reacted positively to the post, thanking the French President for his humanitarian gesture.
