Prime Minister Narendra Modi today, February 25, said India is encouraged by Germany’s interest in opportunities arising out of Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat. In his press statement after holding talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in New Delhi, Mr Modi said Chancellor Scholz understands the many possibilities of India-German ties. He said they discussed issues of mutual interest.
Prime Minister India and Germany have strong ties, based on shared democratic values, and a deep understanding of each other’s interests. He added that there is also a long history of cultural and economic exchange between the two countries. He said the increasing cooperation between the two largest democratic economies of the world is not only beneficial for the people of both countries, it also sends a positive message in today’s stress-ridden world.
The leaders reviewed progress on key outcomes of the 6th Inter-Governmental Consultation held in May last year. They discussed ways to strengthen defence and economic cooperation, enhance talent mobility and widen Science and Technology collaboration. This is the fourth time that the two leaders met in the span of a year, underscoring the mutual commitment to the growth of the Indo-German partnership.
