PANAJI: Germany is looking forward to enhance cooperation with India in the field of education, Michael Siebert, German consul general in Mumbai, told mediapersons in Panaji on Friday.
Siebert said Germany is keen to encourage Indian students to study in Germany. He said efforts were ongoing to further the academic relationship between the two countries through faculty and student exchange programmes.
Siebert said that education in Germany was free and this was an added incentive for those wishing to pursue an education abroad. He said 6,000 Indians go to Germany annually to pursue higher studies.
Anja Hallackar, director of the German academic exchange service, said Indian students were primarily opting for science and engineering courses. She said students had the option of working in Germany after completing their studies.
Siebert said Germany was India's largest European trading partner with trade worth over 20 billion euros and the economic exchange between the two countries was growing. He also said German companies such as Siemens, Bosch, Netzsch and other pharmaceutical firms which have set up manufacturing units in some of the industrial estates were the biggest foreign investors in Goa.
Dean Menezes, honorary consul for Goa, said the German companies in the state were employing over 2,000 persons. He estimated the German investment in the state to be over 1,500 crore.
