German Chancellor Angela Merkel met President Ram Nath Kovind at Rashtrapati Bhavan today

Welcoming German Chancellor to India, the President said that given India's strong commercial ties with Germany, India considers Germany's support important in mobilizing efforts within the European Union for early resumption and conclusion of a balanced EU-India Broad-based Trade and Investment Agreement.

"This will not only send a strong positive signal to business communities on both sides but will also boost India-Germany bilateral trade and technology collaboration," the Rashtrapati Bhavan said in a statement.
