While I appreciate the delegation's efforts, I hope they also discuss economic cooperation with Germany. We need more German investments in renewable energy and manufacturing to create jobs back home.

Operation Sindoor has shown Pakistan that India won't tolerate terrorism anymore. But diplomacy is equally important. Germany can help put pressure on Pakistan through EU channels. Good move by our leaders.

The delegation composition looks balanced with MPs from different parties. But I wish they had included more women representatives. Terrorism affects women disproportionately and their perspective matters.

Germany is India's largest trade partner in EU. While terrorism is important, hope they discuss easier visa norms for Indian professionals too. Many skilled Indians face unnecessary hurdles in German work permits.

After Pahalgam attack, it's good to see India taking firm action both militarily and diplomatically. But we must also address root causes - poverty and radicalization in border areas. Prevention is better than cure.
