In a significant diplomatic engagement, India and Germany convened for the Foreign Office Consultations in Berlin, marking 75 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The discussions were jointly led by India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Geza Andreas von Geyr, State Secretary of the German Foreign Office, where both sides reviewed bilateral ties and the India-Germany Strategic Partnership.

The bilateral talks covered a wide spectrum, including trade, investment, defense, technology cooperation, and green development.
