I invite you as our guest at the G7 summit," Olaf said during the joint briefing.
The German Chancellor further said, "During our the India-Germany Inter-Governmental Consultations (IGC) we also discussed a number of global issues. These consultation help us deepen our relationship. India is among our very important partners in Aisa- in economic terms, security policy terms, and climate politics terms." Hailing India's achievements, he added, "The world can only develop well if we are clear as to the fact that future relations in the world will be characterised and marked by many countries, not by a few powerful countries."
He also took a moment to talk about the Russia-Ukraine war. "Through its attack on Ukraine, Russia has violated fundamental principles of international law.

"Holding of the IGC shows how much importance we place in our strategic ties. The last IGC took place in 2019, and since then, the world has undergone massive transformation. COVID-19 has posed affected the global atmosphere, and so has the recent geo-political changes," PM Modi said.
The Indian Prime Minister added, "We had said that talks are the only way to solve the Ukraine crisis. We believe that no one will be a victorious party in this war. Everyone will incur loss, and that is why we are on the side of peace. Because of the havoc caused by the war, the price oil is skyrocketing, there is a scarcity of fertilizers. Every family in the world is getting burdened by this but developing and underdeveloped countries will be the main losers here."
Coming to talks with Germany, PM Modi said, "Today we are launching the Indo-German partnership on Green and sustainable development. Germany has decided to support the green growth plan of India with an additional development aid of 10 billion euros till 2030. We've announced setting up a green hydrogen task force."
