Beyond their discussions on peace, Modi and Scholz focused on bolstering India-Germany cooperation, especially in defence and security. Modi announced the signing of an agreement for the exchange of classified information, a move that symbolizes deepening trust and mutual support between the two nations.
This agreement, alongside a newly concluded Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty, aims to facilitate a joint response against terrorism and separatist threats.
“The growing cooperation in the defence and security sectors is a symbol of our deep mutual trust,” Modi noted, underlining how these agreements enhance their shared goals of combating global security challenges.
Leading a high-level delegation, Chancellor Scholz has set his sights on expanding Germany’s access to India’s vast market, viewing it as a key alternative to Germany's dependency on China. Addressing business leaders at the 18th Asia-Pacific Conference of German Business 2024, Scholz stressed the need for political solutions based on international law to maintain global stability.
“In today’s multipolar world, there are no global policemen or singular entities upholding our common rules,” Scholz remarked. He cautioned that if Russia’s actions in Ukraine were to succeed, it would have ramifications far beyond Europe, threatening global security and prosperity.
