No change in Germany’s stand on Modi’s Gujarat

Making it clear that Berlin’s stand remains unchanged, Germany’s Ambassador to India Micheal Steiner has said the country will not follow Britain in re engaging with Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s Gujarat or his administration when the State is in the midst of Assembly polls. Talking about the latest round of reforms unleashed by the Manmohan Singh government, Mr. Steiner said these initiatives changed the investment climate. The decisions allowing foreign direct investment in retail and opening up the aviation sector helped India improve its image and atmosphere of investments, he said.
