It is my great pleasure to appoint Abhay Kamal Mangaldas as our new Honorary Consul in Ahmedabad. Widely known for his experience in business & public service, we could not hope for a better representative! We look forward to jointly enhancing bonds between Germany & Gujarat.

On the commemoration day of the heinous terrorist attack in #Pahalgam, the EU and its 27 Member States stand in solidarity with people of India in remembrance of the innocent victims murdered one year ago.

🇩🇪🇮🇳 India - Germany Foreign Office Consultations in Berlin with Dr. Géza Andreas von Geyr, State Secretary & Foreign Secretary @VikramMisri, who also met with German Foreign Minister @AussenMinDE. Fruitful talks about our Strategic Partnership & global developments.

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Asha Bhosle. Her voice defined an era of music and left a lasting imprint. My condolences to her family, friends, and fans in India and around the world. #RIPAshaTai

There is something about Goa that never gets old, even after your 10th visit. 🏖️⛪️🌴 Spent some blissful Easter holidays there so sharing a few impressions. And since this also won't be my last visit - what are your hidden gems in Goa that I should see during my next trip?

Had a fantastic conversation with a talented young Indian professional now living and working in Berlin 🇩🇪. Anamika shares some great insights that can help students who want to make it in Germany!

Had a conversation with @VishnuNDTV on the crisis in West Asia & the Indo-German Strategic Partnership: ndtv.com/video/india-ge…

Blessed days! Happy #Navratri 🙏🏼 and #EidMubarak to everyone celebrating in 🇮🇳 and around the 🌏. Fasting और feasting - एक लाजवाब combo. 😄

Very touching for me to visit @CanSupportND, an NGO that helps cancer patients and their families. Every Monday, CanSupport organizes creative and educational support for these kids. An honour for us to donate colours in support of this great initiative!

Jürgen Habermas shaped my generation through his writings, and has been a towering international voice. His idea of 'unforced force of the better argument' reminds me of Amartya Sen's 'Argumentative Indian'. His demise reminds us that arguments should prevail over force.

Wonderful meeting Sebastian and Thiemo, two energetic young Germans who study at @DelhiUniversity. To all students in 🇩🇪 who consider a term abroad: Do consider 🇮🇳 - and get ready for excellent seminars, a great sense of fellowship and the many wonders of #incredibleIndia!

What a win for Indian cricket! 🇮🇳🔥 Many congratulations to the Men in Blue for winning the ICC Men’s T20 Finals on home turf for the first time! Celebrations across India must be in full swing today. Well played! 🏏 @BCCI

Gender equality isn’t just a women’s issue—it’s a men’s issue too. Happy International Women’s Day!

Exactly today, 75 years ago, India and Germany established diplomatic relations. Let us celebrate what we have achieved together in this time, and let us look forward to even more milestones to come. 🇮🇳🤝🇩🇪

Holi has to be my favourite Indian festival - wishing everyone happy Holi!

Great pleasure to have welcomed former Chancellor Angela Merkel in Delhi - not only to start the Dr Manmohan Singh Memorial Lecture series, but also to chat with skilled Indians about to leave to Germany, and to visit Delhi's incredible heritage sites.

Today, on this fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we commend the Ukrainian people who have endured under the ongoing brutal attacks by Russia. They fight not only for their own independence but for all of us. #StandWithUkraine

Standing united for 🇺🇦, #TeamEurope came together for an evening of reflection and shared solidarity. Through film and art, Ukraine’s enduring spirit remains unwavering. #StandWithUkraine #UnitedForUkraine

Four years into Russia’s aggression, Ukraine’s courage still stands firm. And Europe stands with it, today, tomorrow, for as long as it takes. We #StandWithUkraine
