Prime Minister Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reviewed the full range of bilateral ties during talks in Berlin on Monday.

The two leaders met in one-on-one format followed by delegation level talks, said the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).

According to the MEA, the discussions covered key areas of bilateral cooperation under the overall strategic partnership, as well as regional and global developments.

"Discussions continue between PM @narendramodi and Chancellor Scholz in Berlin. Both leaders are reviewing the full range of bilateral ties between India and Germany, including giving an impetus to trade as well as cultural linkages. @Bundeskanzler," the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) tweeted.

Prime Minister Modi was earlier accorded a ceremonial guard of honour and received by Chancellor Scholz at the Federal Chancellery.

The meeting between PM Modi and Chancellor Scholz was held prior to the sixth round of Biennial Inter Governmental Consultations (IGC) between India and Germany.

The 6th IGC will be followed by a high-level roundtable where PM Modi and Chancellor Scholz will interact with the top CEOs of both countries. PM Modi will also address the Indian diaspora in Germany.

The Prime Minister is on a three-nation visit to Europe. From Germany, he will travel to Denmark for bilateral talks and to participate in the 2nd India-Nordic summit with the Prime Ministers of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, and Norway.

He will make a stopover in Paris on his way back to India to meet French President Emmanuel Macron.
