New Delhi: India has assured France that all issues in the multi-billion dollar deal for the 126 Rafale combat aircraft would be "resolved in a fast-track manner" as the two sides agreed to overcome the differences over the long -delayed project.
The issue came up for discussion during the delegation- level talks last evening between Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian.
India had in 2012 selected the Rafale jet for a deal estimated to be worth over Rs 60,000 crore, but the negotiations are still continuing between the Defence Ministry and French firm Dassault Aviation.
"The talks were held in a cordial atmosphere. All issues related to India-French defence cooperation were discussed," official sources said.
The sources confirmed that the Rafale deal came up during the discussions and that both sides agreed there were matters on which differences still exist between the two.
