Prime Minister Narendra Modi, German chancellor Angela Merkel are issuing a joint statement in Berlin.
Here are the highlights:
PM Modi:
- With an open mind we have discussed India-Germany ties
- The lion and eagle will make good partners
- It is natural that when we are thinking about make in India we are thinking about cooperation with Germany
- Germany is known for skill development, which is a priority area for us. There is a lot we can learn from Germany
- We have also discussed international issues in our meeting
- I believe both India and Germany should be permanent members in the UNSC and the world will gain a lot by this
- Germany's strength is manufacturing. India's workforce that will be trained in this sector can become the world's workforce
- Terrorism needs to be defined. I urge the UN to pass a pending resolution that will define terrorism
- The way the world is sensitive about nuclear weapons, it should be sensitive about terrorism and nations that harbour terrorists
