INDIA-GERMANY BILATERAL RELATIONS

Germany is amongst India’s most important partners for trade, investment and technology. Economic and commercial relations between India and Germany date back to the early 16thcentury when well-known German trading companies from Augsburg and Nuremberg, with the help of Portuguese, developed a new sea route around Africa, as they sailed in search of precious stones and spices for trading purposes. Thereafter in the 16th and 18th centuries, a number of German companies were established with the express purpose of trading with Indian and other East Asian countries. In 1867, Siemens built the first telegraph connection between Kolkata and London. In 1896, Bayer started its operations in India. In 2011-2013, we celebrated 60 years of diplomatic relations between India and Germany.

Germany is India’s largest trading partner in European Union and 6th largest trading partner globally. Germany is also India’s second largest technology partner. India’s significance as a trading partner for Germany is also on the increase. Currently India ranks at the 28th position amongst trading partners for Germany worldwide, accounting for 0.7% of total German trade and ranks 5th among Asian exporters to Germany
.
Bilateral trade has been consistently growing in the recent years. From USD 15 billion in 2007, it almost doubled to USD 24.21 billion in 2011.

More soldiers die here from cold than enemy attacks. The temperature drops to -50 degree         celsius, at times.
