German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on the President of India Draupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Saturday.
“Welcoming Chancellor Scholz on his first visit to India as German Chancellor, the President said that India and Germany share a long-standing relationship, based on our common values and shared goals. Our bilateral relations cover a wide range of areas, reflecting the mutual trust that has been nurtured over decades, Rashtrapati Bhavan said in a statement.
President Murmu said that Germany is India's largest trading partner in Europe and also among the top investors in India. He said that Germany is also India's second largest development cooperation partner and has played an important role in India's development journey.
In recent years, Germany has emerged as a preferred destination for Indian students and researchers seeking higher education, especially in science and technology.
He said that India and Germany also have strong cultural ties with a long tradition of German Indologists working in India.
The President said that India and Germany share common goals of upholding democratic values, the rules-based international order, multilateralism and reform of multilateral institutions.
As two vibrant, pluralistic democracies, India and Germany can play an essential role in addressing new and emerging global challenges.
Scholz, who arrived in India early today, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House in New Delhi and discussed economic ties to strengthen bilateral ties, building green and sustainable development partnership and closer ties in defence.
