According to sources, India and Germany co-chaired the 7th Intergovernmental Consultations (IGC). The IGC is a whole-of-government framework under which Ministers from both countries hold discussions in their respective areas of responsibility and report on the outcome of their deliberations to the Prime Minister and the Chancellor.
Addressing the IGC, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: “Both the nations had taken important decisions for bilateral cooperation during the last IGC in 2022, and there has been encouraging progress in various sectors of strategic relations in the last two years”.
PM Modi highlighted that increasing cooperation in the areas including defense, technology, energy, green and sustainable development have become symbols of mutual trust between India and Germany.
Mr. Modi underlined that the world is passing through an era of tensions, conflicts and uncertainty and there are serious concerns regarding the rule of law and freedom of navigation in the Indo-Pacific Region. In such a time, a strategic partnership between the two nations has emerged as a strong anchor.
The Prime Minister noted that India- Germany ties are a transformational partnership of two capable and empowered democracies.
