New Delhi [India], December 9 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated newly-elected German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and hoped to strengthen the existing strategic partnership between India and Germany.
"My heartiest congratulations to @OlafScholz on being elected as the Federal Chancellor of Germany. I look forward to working closely to further strengthen the Strategic Partnership between India and Germany," tweeted PM Modi.

Scholz has since negotiated a coalition deal with the environmentalist Greens and the business-focused Free Democratic Party (FDP). (ANI)
