India-Germany Relation: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will be on a visit to India from Monday. According to a report in the Indian Express, the visit by German Ambassador to India Philipp Ackermann shows the growing importance of India in German foreign policy. During this, Chancellor Marj will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad and visit Sabarmati Ashram. Ackermann said that he has been invited by the Prime Minister himself to visit his city and this invitation to PM Modi’s hometown was a symbol of friendship and warm welcome, which the Chancellor greatly appreciates.
After Ahmedabad, merger will go to Bengaluru
After Ahmedabad, Marj will go to Bengaluru on 13 January. There, he will visit the campus of the Indian Institute of Science and the German company Bosch. The Chancellor is also accompanied by a large business delegation, which includes chief executives of 25 large and medium-sized German companies.
Ackerman said that during this visit, many issues including defence, supply chain, technology, education and skilling will be discussed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This will further strengthen the partnership between the two countries. Apart from this, world politics can also come into play amidst the changing geopolitics. Merz has been on the post of German Chancellor for the last eight months.
Business between the two is continuously increasing
Transactions in services and goods between India and Germany are continuously increasing. By last year, the trade volume between the two reached $50 billion. Ackermann said that this level shows how strongly Germany is connected to India. More than 2,000 German companies operate in India, while about 750 Indian companies have invested in Germany.
Trade between the two countries is largely balanced. Germany has a slight advantage in terms of goods, while India has a slight advantage in terms of services. Ackermann said that with the increasing interest of German companies, further growth is expected with the business. On an average, every week two companies approach the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce to explore possibilities of setting up their business in India.
