Scholz visits Marine ships in India: focus on arms cooperation!

He praised the courageous use of the Navy in the Indopazacifik and emphasized the important role that this world -round assignment plays to ensure freedom of sea shipping.

The impressive mission began on May 7 in Wilhelmshaven when the "Frankfurt am Main" and the "Baden-Württemberg" frigate crossed the Atlantic, sailing through the Panamaanal into the Pacific and recently the strategically important road of Taiwan, despite the impending Chinese warnings. This week, the ships arrived in the port of Mormugao in Goa and put on together with the Indian marine for a large maneuver.
strategic partnership with India
As part of his conversations, Scholz confirmed the intention of intensifying the security policy cooperation with India, which has existed for over two decades. A central topic is the desired construction of six submarines for the Indian navy through Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems. There is already a declaration of intent, but so far there is no final approval of the Indian government. Airbus also expressed interest in the sale of A400M military transport aircraft in India, whereby the negotiations are still at a very early stage.| Details | |
