German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's visit to India for the 7th India-Germany Inter-Governmental Consultations aims to enhance economic collaboration, particularly in emerging sectors like electric mobility. This visit follows the release of Germany's white paper, ‘Focus on India,’ and underscores the growing partnership in business, defense, and energy. As India seeks deeper European integration and a free trade agreement with the EU, Germany views India as a vital partner to diversify its international ties and reduce reliance on China.
