Germany is India’s valued partner. Our two countries have built a broad-based strategic partnership on the solid foundation of shared values of democracy, the rule of law and individual freedoms.

We are, today, reaping the benefits of our fruitful collaboration in a wide range of areas of common interest including science and technology, trade and investment, infrastructure building, sustainable development and clean energy, security and Defence, high-end technologies and innovation, as also people to people ties. I am confident that our partnership will continue to flourish and achieve new heights in the coming years.

I take this opportunity to reiterate my regret at not being able to visit Germany this year-but look forward to another occasion when we can meet.

Please accept, Excellency, my best wishes for the continued progress and prosperity of the people of the Federal Republic of Germany”.
