The 4th Indo-German Environment Forum was a great success! In his speech at the German Ambassadorโs Residence Federal Minister @schneidercar highlighted the close partnership between ๐ฎ๐ณ & ๐ฉ๐ช and our successful cooperation on circular economy, clean energy & climate adaptation.
Good news! More than 70,000 Indian students enrolled in German universities in 2025, an increase of 10,000 students in just a year ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฌ๐.

Many thanks to President Murmu ji for hosting me and accepting my credentials. Happy to now officially be the Ambassador of Germany to India. ๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฎ๐ณ Next step: further strengthening Indo-German ties.

Glad to host Minister President @Boris_Rhein for a 2-day visit to Delhi. ๐ฎ๐ณ & ๐ฉ๐ช are both federations, where states play a crucial role. Hessen is one of Germanyโs economic powerhouses. Letโs build on the strength of our federalism together!
Familiar face, new responsibility ๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฎ๐ณ - there's a new diplomat in the house!
Let's welcome Dr. Jasper Wieck, German Ambassador-Designate to India. ๐
In one of his final interviews with Manorama online, ambassador Ackermann spoke about the bilateral relations between Germany and India and the opportunities for Malayalis in Germany.

After four years in India, it is time for me to move on to my next posting in Beijing.
There is much to look back on during my time here.
Auf Wiedersehen, India - I will be back again! ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฉ๐ชโ๏ธ

I am shocked and saddened by the terrible tragedy caused by the floods in #Assam.
My thoughts are with those who lost their loved ones and with everyone affected in these challenging times.

At the CII Women in STEM Leadership Summit, Ambassador Ackermann reaffirmed Germanyโs commitment to equal opportunity pathways.
๐ฉ๐ช & ๐ฎ๐ณ are proud to work together to turn women STEM graduates into leaders through initiatives such as @INDOGSTC 's WISER programme. ๐ฌ๐งช๐
It was a pleasure to have worked together to bring our relations to a new level at times where trust and reliability are more essential than ever. ๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฎ๐ณ
Pleased to receive German Ambassador @AmbAckermann for a farewell call-on.
Appreciated his valuable contributions to the strengthening of ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ฉ๐ช Strategic Partnership. Conveyed my best wishes for future endeavours.
Had an in-depth conversation on 25 years of the Indo-German Strategic Partnership at the CSEP Seminar 'Germany and India in a New World.'
As my stint in Delhi comes to a close, it was a great occasion to look back and and also reflect on what lies ahead for ๐ฎ๐ณ & ๐ฉ๐ช.
When I first met the smart WISER scholarship awardees four years ago, we had one German applicant for 10 scholarships. This time, almost 150 women applied for the same 10 positions. Amazing growth, and amazing work by @INDOGSTC , bringing ๐ฎ๐ณ&๐ฉ๐ช together in science.
For the last four years, I started every morning with reading @IndianExpress. Today, I went for my third and last time to Idea Exchange, to take stock of ๐ฉ๐ช&๐ฎ๐ณ over the last four years. Thank you, @ShubhajitRoy, and stay tuned for the full interview in the print edition.
Glad to have opened the German session at the Human Mobility Forum in Delhi.
Today, 315,000 Indians call Germany their home, a testament to the strength of our people-to-people ties.
We shall continue to support students, apprentices and professionals on their path to Germany.
@SwissAmbIND Dear Maya, thank you for these very kind words. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside you in India. Switzerland and Germany are connected by language and culture - but bringing this connection to life is always something very personal.
