"Confident that our ties would continue to grow with even greater vigour and momentum," the post added.

The EAM further asserted that doing business in India presently is easy and expressed hope that German businesses will respond to new opportunities in India.

"Economic and technology collaboration is naturally at the heart of our relationship.

We hope that German businesses will respond to new opportunities here that would help build resilient and reliable supply chains globally," Jaishankar said.

Appreciating Germany's skilled labour strategy concerning India, Jaishankar added, "I should also mention that the digital era offers many more possibilities in view of the strong trust between India and Germany. Our times also call for greater mobility of talent and skills. We appreciate Germany's recent skilled labour strategy in respect of India. Together with deeper educational and technology linkages, it can surely expand the breadth of our cooperation. Culture and heritage have also been an important part of our ties..." (ANI)
