Narendra Modi meets Friedrich Merz at G7 summit in France
Prime Minister Modi caught up with Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the G-7 summit in France.
Their chat focused on making trade and defense ties stronger, plus they discussed global issues like the Russia-Ukraine conflict and tensions in West Asia.
Modi summed it up as "very fruitful," especially for tech, green initiatives, and cultural exchange.
India and Germany deepen strategic cooperation
The two leaders checked in on big projects like India's €5 billion stealth submarine deal with a German company and progress on an India-EU free trade agreement.
They also welcomed the operationalisation of transit visa waiver for Indian nationals transiting through Germany.
Looking ahead to 75 years of diplomatic ties in 2026, both sides seem keen to keep building this partnership across new sectors.
