The Ambassador mentioned the demographic advantage of India and reiterated his country’s commitment to strengthen partnerships with India in higher education, research, vocational education and training, the Ministry of Human Resource Development said in a statement.
He also reinforced the need to further expand the current Indo-German Strategic Partnership (IGSP) in Higher Education.
Reciprocating the Ambassador’s views, the Minister reiterated India’s commitment to collaborate with Germany and appreciated the Indo-German Strategic Partnership (IGSP) in Higher Education.

Other opportunities to collaborate between the two countries that were discussed include replication of Germany’s model in Skills and Vocational Education and Training, teaching of B.Ed. in German at select Indian Universities and consulting with Germany’s premier institutions for setting up India’s National e-Library and e-Bhasha initiative.
Opportunities to partner with Germany on their initiative to set up an International Centre for Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences were also discussed.
