On July 14, 2025, President Emmanuel Macron stood proudly on the Champs-Élysées as he received the grand sword salute, signaling the official commencement of France’s iconic Bastille Day military parade.
Dressed in ceremonial uniform, a senior military officer rendered the time-honored salute — a symbol of respect, discipline, and national pride.
The moment marked the beginning of a day-long celebration of French heritage, unity, and military tradition, attended by dignitaries from around the world and featuring spectacular displays of military precision and historical homage.
French President Emmanuel Macron has announced a significant boost to France’s defense budget, citing Russia as the primary threat to national and European security. Speaking ahead of Bastille Day, Macron warned that freedom hasn’t faced such a dire threat since 1945. With €64 billion planned for defense by 2027, Macron called on citizens to prepare for national sacrifice. Our reporter, Paridhi Bhanot, breaks down what this means for Europe, India, and global stability amid budget deficits, rising tensions, and a looming security crisis.

Donald Trump will be hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle during his unprecedented second state visit to the UK from September 17 to 19, Buckingham Palace said. The House of Commons will not be sitting at the time of the visit as it will be in recess for party conference season, meaning the US president will not be able to address Parliament as French president Emmanuel Macron did in July.

Bastille Day 2025 in Paris turned into a diplomatic and military spectacle as Indonesia—the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation—led the foreign guest honors. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto arrived to oversee the march of his country’s troops, including a striking 200-member military drum unit, through the Champs-Élysées. The gesture marked a deepening of Franco-Indonesian defense ties, with expectations high for Jakarta to confirm major purchases of French Rafale fighter jets and other arms.
