Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Saturday that Germany wants to get India to support, or at least not block, Western efforts to isolate Russia for waging a devastating war against Ukraine.
Following his talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Scholz stressed that developing countries were being negatively impacted by energy and food shortages resulting from the war and hopes that India will help secure critical supplies to Asia, Africa and the Americas.Modi maintained his cautious approach and said India wanted the conflict to be ended through dialogue and diplomacy. "India is ready to make its contribution to any peace initiative," he added.
Scholz, who arrived in the Indian capital on Saturday, also discussed with Modi ways to boost bilateral economic cooperation. "There is huge potential for intensified cooperation in sectors such as renewables, hydrogen, mobility, pharma and digital economy" with India, Scholz said in an interview published by The Times of India newspaper on Saturday.
"That's something that the Indian government decides and as you get it at a very, very low price, you know I cannot blame the Indian government for buying it," New Delhi Television cited Ackermann as saying.
