India and Germany voiced concern on the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia on Friday, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserting that New Delhi is ready to make every possible contribution for the restoration of peace. At the 7th India-Germany Inter-Governmental Consultations (IGC), German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described India as an anchor of stability and requested Modi to work jointly to bring about political solutions to the twin conflicts that have been raging for long.
«The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia are a matter of concern for both countries. India has always been of the view that war cannot be a solution to problems. India is ready to make every possible contribution for the restoration of peace,» Modi said, with the visiting German chancellor by his side.
At the IGC, the two sides signed 18 agreements and documents, including a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty in Criminal Matters and an agreement on exchange and mutual protection of classified information.
«The growing cooperation in the defence and security sectors reflects our deep mutual trust. The agreement on the exchange of classified information is a new step in this direction. The Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty signed today will further bolster our joint efforts to combat terrorism and separatist elements,» Modi said.
The prime minister said India and Germany are constantly working on their shared commitment to green and sustainable growth.
