Prime Minister Narendra Modi has suggested that India and Germany should develop a concrete time-bound plan for training of Indian youth to meet Indian needs and the global requirement of skilled human resources.

In his meeting with visiting German Foreign Minister Dr. Frank Walter Steinmeier in New Delhi yesterday, the Prime Minister lauded Germany’s economic resurgence over the past decade.

He described India and Germany as made for each other because of complementary skills and resources to power the next generation of industrial development through partnering in manufacturing and infrastructure growth.

Mr Modi called for taking forward the ongoing cooperation in the area of clean energy and forging new partnerships in solid waste management, waste water treatment and cleaning of rivers.
