German Chancellor Friedrich Merz two-day visit to India marked a significant milestone in the bilateral relations.

Accompanied by 23 CEOs of German companies from various sectors, Merz landed in Ahmedabad on 12 January. Having spent a full day in multiple events, in the company of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chancellor flew to Bengaluru. The intent and composition of the delegation was reflected in signing number of MoUs and Joint Declaration of Intents which aimed at strengthening economic, technological and security cooperation between the two countries.

For Chancellor Merz, it was his first trip to India and Asia as the Head of the German Government. Merz chose India for his first Asian trip as Chancellor, indicating a shift in strategy among European leaders, who previously focused on China. New Delhi is also preparing to receive the EU leaders as the guests in the ensuing Republic Day parade. Soon after, the French President Emmanuel Macron is visiting India.
