Will the Manipur issue also be raised? The German Chancellor who visited India gave a shocking answer to this question

German Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Hebeck is currently on a three-day visit to India. He said on Thursday that the European country has a complicated relationship with China, the biggest trading partner of the European Union (EU). Speaking on the sidelines of the Indo-German Business Forum in Delhi, Hebeck said that India and Germany have mutual interests in reducing dependence on China. Habeck said the partnership with China is complex. China is our largest trading partner. So, a lot of companies, German, European companies have invested in China. It is a huge market and the same applies for India and the US, for example.

When a reporter asked whether he would raise the issue of Manipur during his visit to India as it was discussed in the European Union Parliament? In response German Chancellor Haebeck said that I think it is not on the table for me, I am discussing economic, energy and renewable energy matters. Let us tell you that the European Parliament had criticized the Narendra Modi government regarding the Manipur violence. A motion was introduced by six parliamentary parties on 12 July in the European Parliament in Brussels.

However, he added that over-reliance on a single market increases risk and although it is not possible to break away from China, it is important to de-risk the relationship and diversify. “We see that relying on only one market can be a risk, and more so if we see that economic issues are not politically neutral. We see that China and Russia are in close cooperation. And that means we cannot separate from China.
