Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that Germany has raised its annual visa limit for skilled Indian workers from 20,000 to 90,000, marking a significant boost in opportunities for Indian professionals seeking employment in Germany.

The leaders held productive talks focusing on trade and strengthening economic ties between the two nations, which rank as the world’s fifth and third-largest economies, respectively. Speaking at the conference, PM Modi highlighted that this development would further strengthen the growing partnership between India and Germany, remarking, "The friendship between India and Germany is deepening with every step forward."
