Berlin:
India and Germany Thursday signed six agreements to enhance
cooperation in the areas of green energy, education, agriculture
and science and technology.
The agreements were signed in the presence of visiting Indian
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and German Chancellor Angela Merkel
after the second inter-governmental meeting between the two
countries.
The prime minister and the chancellor co-chaired the meeting and
discussed the areas of cooperation.
Addressing a joint press conference after the meeting, Manmohan
Singh said the high level bilateral engagement between the two
countries in the recent years had substantially and tangibly
raised the quality of cooperation across a broad range of areas.
"We look forward to expand defence cooperation anchored in
technology transfer, co-development and co-production in India,"
he said.
India's Minister for New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah and
German parliamentary state secretary Gudrun Kopp signed an
agreement for establishment of a "green energy corridor".
Two agreements were signed to enhance cooperation in education and
research.
Joint declarations of intents were signed for cooperation in
agriculture, food security and civil security research.
"High technology commerce would benefit from further easing of
German export controls to India. The agreement today on scientific
collaboration on technologies for civilian security adds a new
dimension to our growing security cooperation," Manmohan Singh
said.
Chancellor Markel said the inter-governmental talks had helped
strengthen economic and strategic ties.
"The scale and spectrum of agreements signed after the
inter-governmental cooperation was a testimony of deep and close
cooperation between the two countries," she said.
