PM Modi, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Hold Wide-Ranging Talks. Details Here

Today's extensive discussions between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz were aimed at strengthening the two countries' cooperation in the fields of renewable energy, commerce, and innovative technology. The discussions took place shortly after German Chancellor Scholz touched down in Delhi for a two-day trip. This was his first trip to India since taking office as chancellor of Germany in December 2021, ending Angela Merkel's historic 16-year reign. Chancellor Scholz was granted a formal welcome by PM Modi earlier at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Chancellor Scholz's visit presents an opportunity to further strengthen the intricate India-Germany strategic alliance, according to MEA spokeswoman Arindam Bagchi. On November 16, 2016, PM Modi and Chancellor Scholz met in Bali, an Indonesian resort city, outside the G20 conference. When PM Modi visited Berlin on May 2 of last year for the sixth India-Germany Inter-Governmental Consultations, the two leaders first met (IGC). In order to attend the G7 grouping's annual meeting, Prime Minister Modi then travelled to the Alpine castle of Schloss Elmau in southern Germany on June 26 and 27. Chancellor Scholz extended an invitation to Prime Minister Modi to attend the G7 conference when Germany was hosting. The relationship between India and Germany has improved over the past several years in a number of significant sectors. Chancellor Scholz is scheduled to leave Bangalore on Sunday at approximately 5:30 p.m. from the southern city.
