He underlined the momentum of ties in the bilateral relationship as New Delhi and Berlin complete 25 years of the strategic partnership.

Jaishnakar wrote on X, "Warmest greetings to FM Wadephul, the Government and people of Federal Republic of Germany, on the occasion of German National Unity Day. Value the sustained momentum in our ties, as we complete 25 years of our Strategic Partnership."

Earlier in September, the Union External Affairs Minister met Wadephul on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, during the meeting of the G4 Foreign Ministers.

The Foreign Ministers of the G4 countries- Mauro Vieira, Foreign Minister of Brazil; Johann Wadephul, Federal Foreign Minister of Germany; S Jaishankar, Minister of External Affairs of India and Iwaya Takeshi, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan to assess the state of play and discuss prospects for reform of the UN Security Council, the statement said.

The German Foreign Minister was in India in September and during his visit India and Germany agreed on gratis visas for short-term school and college visits to promote student exchanges and education ties, as well as establishing a new bilateral consultation mechanism on the Indo-Pacific region, the Ministry of External Affairs stated.

Great to see our gurudwaras becoming platforms for international diplomacy. The Sikh community has always been at the forefront of serving humanity - this visit perfectly showcases those values to global leaders.

While I appreciate the cultural exchange, I hope such visits go beyond symbolic gestures and lead to concrete outcomes in education and technology partnerships. The student exchange program mentioned is a good start.

As someone who has visited Gurudwara Rakabganj Sahib, I can say it's a beautiful place of worship. The langar (community kitchen) experience alone can teach so much about equality and service. Hope the German delegates got to experience that too!
