Germany: India and Germany fight terrorism together - Merkel

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germany and India face “the fight against terrorism” together during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the German Chancellery in Berlin, Tuesday. Merkel spoke of the government’s desire to deepen the relationship with India across multiple areas, saying the two countries face similar challenges. The German Chancellor also addressed the Iranian nuclear program, saying she pleads for the sanctions to be "collectively" lifted while her primary focus lies in helping finalise an agreement. Prime Minister Modi is on a three day visit to India after the Asian powerhouse was selected as Germany's partner country at the 2015 Hanover Fair. Germany is Modi’s second leg of a three-nation tour that began in France and will see him head to Canada next.
