India and Germany have agreed to enhance collaboration in the fields of renewable energy, urban development, agroecology, and mobility. According to German officials, strategies to increase involvement in these critical areas were a major focus during the development policy talks led by India's Department for Economic Affairs and Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development on Saturday.
Both parties have agreed to maintain their partnership in the fields of renewable energy, urban development, mobility, and agroecology for the upcoming years, as stated by them.
The Indo-German cooperation is strategically guided by the "Partnership for Green and Sustainable Development", which was established in 2022 following talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Scholz. The German chancellor is scheduled to visit India next month.
"Germany and India share a long-standing, trusting and strategic partnership," said Barbara Schafer, the head of the German delegation at the talks. "This has been further demonstrated in 2024 by both sides. With the launch of the 'India-Germany Platform for Investments in Renewable Energy Worldwide'," she said.
The latest project was introduced on September 16 at the fourth RE-Invest event held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
"With our commitments this year, Germany has made it clear that it reliably fulfils its international obligations," Schafer explained.
