Germany's Scholz in India to press on EU trade deal

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived in India on Saturday seeking to deepen business ties between the world’s number four and five economies and push for progress on an EU trade deal despite differences over Ukraine.

“We want to further strengthen our bilateral relationship with India and our cooperation on global issues, such as mitigating climate change and transforming our economies in a just, green and sustainable way,” Scholz told the Times of India in an interview.
