The first such meeting, held in New Delhi in May 2011, was chaired by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Commerce & Industry Minister Anand Sharma, along with other senior Cabinet ministers, would accompany Singh to Berlin.
This meeting, too, would be chaired by Singh and Merkel.
The meeting would focus on the multi-role fighter jet deal and the much-awaited India-European Union trade pact.
Issues related to the Eurofighter Typhoon are expected to feature prominently, following India’s decision to buy 126 Rafale fighter jets from French aviation giant Dassault for $12 billion.
Last year, Eurofighter Typhoon lost the bid; Dassault emerged the lowest bidder.
A senior official told Business Standard it was expected Germany would push Eurofighter’s case.
Germany, India’s biggest trading partner in EU, has a considerable say in the ongoing talks for an India-EU free trade agreement (or the bilateral trade and investment agreement), which is expected to remove import duties on about 90 per cent of tariff lines.
Negotiations on the deal have on since 2007 and have missed several deadlines.
“India is also expected to raise the issue of Germany’s export control regime.
“Several Indian companies continue to be on Germany’s restrictive export lists, due to which they face problems in securing the necessary export clearances, even for products for civilian use, not under the dual-use category,”
