Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal will be on an official visit to Berlin, Germany, from October 23, marking the 25th anniversary of the India–Germany Strategic Partnership.
According to a statement from the Commerce Ministry, the visit marks a significant milestone in enhancing India’s engagement with Germany and underscores the depth, resilience, and long-standing strength of bilateral ties.
A key component of the visit will include a series of one-on-one meetings with CEOs of leading German companies, including Schaeffler Group, Renk Vehicle Mobility Solutions, Herrenknecht AG, Infineon Technologies AG, Enertrag SE, and Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
Minister Goyal will also chair a roundtable with CEOs and leaders of German Mittelstand companies, and meet with representatives of the Federation of German Industries (BDI) and the Asia-Pacific Association of German Business (APA).
“These interactions will provide a platform to explore synergies, facilitate investments, and promote stronger business-to-business linkages, particularly in sectors aligned with sustainability, innovation, and advanced manufacturing,” the ministry stated.
During his visit, Mr. Goyal will also hold high-level bilateral meetings with Katherina Reiche, German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, and Dr. Levin Holle, Economic and Financial Policy Advisor at the Federal Chancellery and Germany’s G7 and G20 Sherpa.
Discussions will focus on strengthening the dynamic Indo–German economic partnership and exploring new avenues for enhanced trade and investment cooperation.
In addition, the Minister will meet Xavier Bettel, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Luxembourg, to discuss strengthening bilateral trade relations, Luxembourg’s forthcoming State Visit to India, regional developments, and key international issues.
Mr. Goyal will also participate as a speaker at the third Berlin Global Dialogue (BGD), an annual summit that brings together leaders from business, government, and academia to deliberate on issues shaping the global economy.
