German NSA Jens Pltner on Thursday held separate talks with his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar as part of preparation for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's trip to India later this month.

Scholz is visiting India to hold wide-ranging talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi under the framework of India-Germany Inter Governmental Commission.

Pltner's trip to India came weeks after Jaishankar travelled to Berlin.

"Pleasure to meet Jens Pltner, Security & Foreign Policy Advisor to @Bundeskanzler. Continued our conversations from Berlin last month and took stock of preparations for the upcoming India-Germany IGC," Jaishankar said on X.

The IGC is the highest forum to deliberate on India-Germany relations. German ambassador to India Philipp Ackermann described Pltner's meeting with Doval as "fruitful". -- PTI
