Indian PM Narendra Modi praised the German government's decision to increase the number of visas for skilled Indians from 20,000 to 90,000 per year on Friday.

Addressing the 18th Asia-Pacific Conference of German Business 2024, PM Modi said: "Two of the world's leading economies, together, we can become a force for global good, and the Focus on India document provides a blueprint for this. In this, Germany’s holistic approach and commitment to pursuing the strategic partnership are clearly evident. Especially noteworthy is the trust that Germany has expressed in the skilled workforce of India."

"I am confident that this will further boost Germany's economic growth," he said.

Modi noted that this is the  25th anniversary of the India-Germany Strategic Partnership.

He said: "The next 25 years will see this partnership reach new heights."

"We have created a roadmap for India's development over the coming 25 years," Modi said.

He said bilateral trade between India and Germany has surpassed 30 billion dollars.

"India is becoming a prime center of diversification and de-risking and is emerging as a hub of global trade and manufacturing. Given this scenario, now is the most opportune time for you to make in India, and make for the world," Modi said.

Speaking on the importance of the conference, Modi said: "The Indo-Pacific region is very important for the future of the world. Whether it is in terms of global growth, population, or skills, the contribution and potential of this region are immense."
