ADDITIONAL INFO ON INDO-GERMAN RELATIONS

India is one of the first countries to end the state of war with post-war Germany in 1951 and amongst the first countries to recognize the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). The relationship, based on common values of democracy and rule of law has strengthened significantly in the 1990s following India’s economic liberalization and the end of Cold War. In the last decade, both political and economic interaction between and Germany has enhanced significantly. Today, Germany is amongst India’s most important partners both bilaterally and in the global context.

The course of the bilateral relationship was set by the two visits of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to Germany in 1956 and 1960. There are regular bilateral exchanges, including at the highest level. In recent years, there have been regular high level visits from both sides. PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee visited Germany in May 2003. Former PM Manmohan Singh visited Germany in 2006, 2010 and 2013. From German side, Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder visited India in 2001 and 2004. Chancellor Angela Merkel visited India in 2007 and again in 2011 for the first Inter-governmental Consultations. German President Joachim Gauck paid a State visit to India in February 2014. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier visited India on September 7- 8, 2014.

India and Germany have a ‘strategic partnership’ since 2001, which has been further strengthened with two rounds of Intergovernmental Consultations (IGC) in New Delhi in May 2011, as well as in Berlin in April 2013. The next IGC is likely to take place in India in the second half of 2015. India will be the Partner Country in Hannover Messe-2015 in April 2015. The two countries have several institutionalized arrangements to discuss bilateral and global issues of interest viz. Strategic Dialogue, Foreign Office Consultations, Joint Commission on Industrial and Economic Cooperation, High Technology Partnership Group, High Defence Committee and Joint Working Group on Counter-Terrorism, Indo-German Consultative Group, etc. Germany and India cooperate closely on the issue of UN Security Council expansion within the framework of G-4. Both sides have regular consultation on foreign policy issues such as East Asia, Central Asia, UN issues, Disarmament & Non-proliferation, etc.

There have been regular interactions between Parliamentarians of the two countries. The Indo-German Parliamentary Group in the German Bundestag, established in 1971, has contributed to strengthening links between the two Parliaments. A 16-member India-Germany Parliamentary Friendship Group has been constituted in the 18th Bundestag under the Chairmanship of Mr Ralph Brinkhaus, an MP from the CDU.

In the field of defence, bilateral Defence Cooperation Agreement was signed in 2006 which provides a framework for annual consultations. High Defence Committee (HDC) meetings at the Defence Secretary level take place annually, alternately in New Delhi and Berlin. India was the Partner Country in ILA Berlin Air Show in 2008. State Secretary in the German Ministry of Defence Mr Wolfang Brauksiepe visited India to attend 7th HDC in New Delhi on July 9-10, 2014. Chief of Naval Staff Admiral R. K. Dhowan paid an official visit to Germany on July 7-10, 2014.
