''Discuss ways to further the vigour and vitality of the Indo-German economic and commercial partnership,'' the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said in a tweet.

Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar also participated in the meeting.

Earlier, addressing a joint press event with Scholz after co-chairing the 6th inter-governmental consultations between the two nations, Modi said India was concerned over the humanitarian impact of the conflict and had provided aid to Ukraine.
