Friedrich Merz, the Chancellor of Germany, is in India on Monday to strengthen security and commercial relations between the third and fourth largest economies in the world. The two biggest Economies in the world, China and the United States, present Berlin and New Delhi with a variety of Geopolitical and economic problems in addition to a volatile global order.
Merz’s visit on Monday was his first visit to an Asian country since taking office in May last year. It takes place two weeks before an EU-India summit. The two Nations are negotiating a free trade deal. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hosting Merz for 2 days in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Then he will move on to Bengaluru, a centre of technology in the south.
Everything about the German Chancellor’s India visit
The recent 25th anniversary of the India-Germany strategic partnership is a major topic of discussion during the German Chancellor’s India visit. Science, research, and innovation, green and sustainable development, and interpersonal relationships are other important topics on the agenda.
The following was the schedule for the chancellor’s day-long visit to India:
- Sabarmati Ashram visit at 9:30 a.m.
- Launch of the kite festival at 10:00 a.m.
- Mahatma Mandir bilateral engagements at 11:15 a.m.
PM Modi and the German chancellor will discuss enhancing trade and investment, advanced technology, education, and mobility. They will also discuss the Defence and Security Corporation, according to officials earlier.
Easy travel for Indian passport holders in Germany
The Announcement of a visa-free transit option for Indian passport holders passing through German airports is anticipated. It will greatly facilitate Indian nationals’ worldwide travel and improve people to people relationship between the two nations.
To put it simply, the visa-free transit facility eliminates the need for Indian travellers to apply for a separate transit visa. It will no longer be needed when they pass through German Airports on their way to another Nation. It will make travel easier, faster, and require less paperwork. Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked Chancellor Merz for announcing the visa-free facility.
