"India is a key partner in the Indo-Pacific. Our relations are close—politically, economically, culturally. Expanding our strategic partnership has great potential: from security cooperation to innovation & technology to skilled labor recruitment. India’s voice, as the world’s most populous country and largest democracy, is heard far beyond the strategically important Indo-Pacific region. That’s why I’m traveling to Bangalore and New Delhi today for talks. India plays a crucial role in shaping the international order of our century. As democracies, we are natural partners. In the face of major geopolitical challenges, we want and must jointly preserve the rules-based international order"

– German FM Johann Wadephul
