We will cooperate with India to support its programmes : German Chancellor
Merkel, who arrived here on Sunday on a two-day visit to India, will hold bilateral talks with PM taking up subjects likely to cover a wide range of issues including security and defence, with special focus on boosting trade ties.
After receiving ceremonial ceremonial welcome at the Rashtraparti Bhavan, she said Germany "fully intends to support the ambitious program that PM Modi has outlined for the development of this nation."
"We will co-operate on areas such as economy, agriculture, internal security, defence matters and financial relations," she added.
Merkel and Modi are also scheduled to have a one-on-one meeting before delegation-level talks. During her visit, Merkel will also meet President Pranab Mukherjee and Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday before heading to Bangalore for a business conference.
