Chandigarh (Punjab) [India]July 8 (ANI): Germany’s ambassador to India Philipp Ackermann said India’s economic growth and its “interesting market” present business opportunities for German companies.
Ackerman, on his first two-day visit starting Thursday, said India’s economic growth has been solid over the years and it is one of the very few countries that has achieved sustainable growth.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Ackman said: “India is a very interesting market for us. It’s a big market. It’s a growing market. Growth in India has been very solid over the years. Impressive growth.”
“It is one of the very few countries in the world that has achieved sustainable growth. Therefore, German companies are also increasingly given the opportunity to invest further in India. Now, Germany is by far Europe’s largest trading partner, after India. But I We believe that in the next few years we will see more investments by German companies here,” the German envoy said.
He said that Germany welcomes students from India and more and more Indian students are coming to Germany. There are currently 35,000 students in Germany and 32,000 applicants at the embassy, ​​he said.
“We are getting more and more students coming to Germany. We have 35,000 students now. I still have 32,000 applications from my embassy. Quite a lot actually, unfortunately, we need a little time to process the applications. I know that some students may A bit frustrated because things didn’t go as fast as they expected, but I can tell you that in principle Indian students are very, very popular in Germany. German Universities are very keen to enroll Indian students. They have a great reputation in Germany and I Just hopefully, at that stage, maybe arguably, one should be very careful before engaging with agencies,” Ackerman told ANI.
The German envoy advises students to verify their documents by themselves. He said that 70% of Indian students come to Germany to study for a master’s degree because they are taught in English.
Ackerman said he can guarantee that Indians will find jobs in Germany quickly because once a student graduates in Germany, he or she has 12 months to find a job in Germany
