Chancellor Scholz's Strategic Visit: Deepening Indo-German Ties

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will visit India for three days, joining Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss strengthening collaboration in defence, trade, and clean energy. Scholz's visit, the third in recent times, will include co-chairing the Intergovernmental Consultations and addressing the Asia Pacific Conference of German Business.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is slated to embark on a significant three-day visit to India starting Thursday. His talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi aim to bolster strategic partnerships between the two nations, focusing on key areas such as defence, trade, and clean energy.

This marks Scholz's third visit to India in the past year, his previous trips being a bilateral visit last February and attending the G20 Leaders' summit in September. During this trip, Scholz and Modi will co-chair the seventh Intergovernmental Consultations (IGC).

The visit is expected to further deepen Indo-German ties, with 650 prominent business leaders gathering at the Asia Pacific Conference of German Business, highlighting enhanced economic and investment prospects. Both leaders will also deliberate on significant regional and global issues, fostering broader cooperation in emerging technologies.
