In India, French president pushes $12bn jet deal



French President Francois Hollande made a fresh push Thursday to clinch the world's biggest defence deal, the $12 billion sale of 126 warplanes to India, during his first visit to Asia since taking office.
The Socialist president was accompanied by a high-powered delegation of five ministers including Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.
The two-day visit by politicians and business leaders began in New Delhi and will see the delegation head south to India's financial capital Mumbai on Friday.
