摘要

India has a multi-dimensional relationship with the Federal Republic of Germany, which is its largest trading partner within the European Union, a major source and destination of foreign direct investment, a significant donor, and an important source of technology. This chapter examines the evolution and expansion of India’s economic, political, and defence relationship with Germany from 1947 until the present. It analyses mutual perceptions, highlights the elements of convergence and divergence, and discusses the challenges and prospects in a world that is in geopolitical flux and disarray. The chapter argues that India and Germany have an incrementally increasing relationship with more overlapping than conflicting interests.
