At the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue (IPRD) 2025 held in New Delhi, Germany signalled stronger alignment with India’s growing maritime ambitions. German Ambassador Philipp Ackermann emphasized the shared commitment between the two nations towards open seas, maritime security, and regional cooperation. The dialogue, hosted by the Indian Navy and the National Maritime Foundation, gathered senior diplomats, naval leaders, and defence experts from over 20 countries to discuss enhancing regional maritime capacity and security. Ambassador Ackermann hinted at an imminent, significant collaboration between Germany and India in naval and industrial domains, underpinned by shared values, mutual trust, and a common vision for a secure Indo-Pacific. Germany expressed readiness to deepen cooperation in developing advanced defence systems, training, and logistics. The event highlighted India’s role as a pivotal maritime power bridging the Western and Eastern Indian Ocean and called for cooperative maritime architectures to tackle challenges arising from great power competition, climate change, non-traditional threats, and the need to safeguard global supply chains.
