India-Germany strategic partnership: India attaches high priority

By
Joachim Gauck, the President of Germany talking with on the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee.

Joachim Gauck, the President of the Federal Republic of Germany called on the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee yesterday (February 5, 2014) at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The President also hosted a banquet in his honour following the meeting.

The President said India attaches high priority to India-Germany strategic partnership based on shared values. India considers Germany as a long standing and good friend. Germany is the most important economic partner of India in Europe. In 2012 bilateral trade between India and Germany was Euro 17.5 billion. But there is much more potential to enhance commerce between the two countries. The President expressed appreciation for the development assistance provided to India by Germany.

The President said it is matter of great satisfaction that India and Germany have a strong partnership on regional and international issues. The two countries should continue with efforts for a fundamental reform of the UN Security Council and other multilateral institutions that reflects current realities.

In his banquet speech, the President said India sees Mr. Gauck’s visit as yet another occasion for Germany and India to reinforce their long standing ties of friendship and co-operation. The "Strategic Partnership" is a culmination of the two nations’ continuous commitment, over the decades, to realise the full potential of the mutually beneficial relationship.

The President said Indian companies are increasingly venturing into investments and acquisitions in Germany, and India, in turn, sees immense opportunities for enhanced German investments in its physical infrastructure. India also looks forward to the participation of the small and medium enterprises of Germany in India’s growing consumer market. Today, not only does India celebrate Germany as its largest trading partner in Europe, but it also attaches great importance to German development assistance which has helped bring advanced technology into India and enhanced India’s energy efficiency while developing alternative sources of renewable energy.

The President said the two countries are bastions of democracy and freedom. Both have a shared respect for the rights of individuals, rule of law and a free media. The President congratulated German President for his personal commitment and his contribution to the promotion of democracy and human rights and said he is confident that his visit will be an important milestone in strategic partnership between India and Germany and will set the agenda for joint endeavours in the coming days.

Speaking at the welcome banquet, the German President said Germany considers India to be a key partner in the region. Germany greatly admires the path to modernity pursued by India in the 21st century. A successful India, which offers its citizens the chance to live their lives in peace and freedom, sends an important message to Asia and indeed to the whole world. Such an India stands for the advantages of an open society, for pluralism and for democracy. It is important that India and Germany closely coordinate on global issues such as security, development, global trade and climate protection.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script also ha

CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined.
