Addressing German parliamentarians in Berlin, Rajnath Singh on Tuesday beckoned the industry there, saying “Aatmanirbhar Bharat is not merely a procurement programme, it is an invitation to co-create, co-develop, and co-innovate”.Upon his arrival in Germany, Rajnath was welcomed at the Berlin airport with military honours. He was flown in a special German Air Force aircraft, escorted by fighter jets, during his flight from Munich to Berlin. During his three-day visit, Rajnath is set to hold talks with his German counterpart, Boris Pistorius, and other senior leaders.Addressing the German parliamentary standing committee, Rajnath made a strong pitch for enhanced collaborations between defence industrial ecosystems of the two countries. He asserted that the “world today is faced with new security threats, and the technological transformation has made the situation highly complex and intricately connected. A new approach with the willingness to adapt to the changing environment is the need of the hour”.Pointing out that India is witnessing an unprecedented transformation in the defence sector, he said increased partnerships with the German industry can yield significant mutual gains. “We recognise the established strengths of Germany’s leading industrial enterprises, while also admiring the vigour and dynamism of the renowned German Mittelstand (small & medium-sized companies) in advanced and emerging technologies. In India too, our start-ups and enterprising private companies are rapidly enhancing and complementing the capabilities of our larger and established defence enterprises. This is an area where India and Germany naturally complement each other, and our partnership can deepen further,” he said.To deal with modern-day global challenges, Rajnath underscored the need for coordinated responses and trusted strategic partnerships. “PM Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Mr Friedrich Merz have placed strong emphasis on advancing this strategic partnership. We also see a clear convergence of views at the EU level, reflected in the growing momentum to engage with India, including through the India–EU Defence and Strategic Partnership,” he said.He said India and Germany are not only strategic partners, but also consequential voices in shaping the global discourse of the present times. “We are established democracies bound by shared values, and dynamic economies driven by resilience, innovation, and a determined industrial spirit. As lawmakers and esteemed members of the committee, your guidance, voice, and support can further strengthen and enrich the future course of our defence and strategic cooperation.”Rajnath pointed out that the current geopolitical instability can no longer be viewed as regional matters. Their consequences are global in scope, he said, describing them as not localised disturbances, but serious developments with far-reaching implications for energy security, food security, and global economic stability, apart from the immense humanitarian cost they entail.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosAllahabad HC Judge Recuses Himself From Rahul Gandhi’s Dual Citizenship CaseCong Submits Breach of Privilege Against PM Modi; Trump Pushes Iran Talks Amid Ceasefire TensionsIndian Army Sends Strong Warning to Terror Groups Ahead of Pahalgam Terror Attack AnniversaryPappu Yadav Faces Notice After Claiming 90% Women Need ‘Leaders’ Bedrooms’ To Enter PoliticsNida Khan Faces Arrest After Nashik Court Rejects Interim Bail In BPO CaseBJP Leader Nazia Elahi Khan Applies Tilak At Lenskart Store Amid Dress Code RowSupreme Court Raises Alarm Over Digital Arrest Scams, ₹2.5 Cr Fraud Case HighlightedKashmir On Alert As SOG Carries Out Search Ops Before Pahalgam AnniversaryGun, Kirpans, Pepper Spray: Clash Inside Germany Gurdwara Leaves 11 WoundedIndia, Korea Discuss Global Tensions, Stress Peace, Security And Stronger Multilateral Cooperation123PhotostoriesExclusive – Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actors Kuldeep Gor and Dharti Bhatt, aka Ratan and Roopa on their new saree shop, their bond with the cast, and a special gift for Daya Bhabhi5 largest birds in the world worth travelling forDo you unconsciously ‘insult’ your child? 5 mistakes that can ruin their mental health5 places that are perfect to visit in MayAnushka Sharma-inspired simple kurta looks perfect for summer 2026Animals you might see in your backyard in AustraliaA dazzling night in Chandigarh over good food and even better mood7 baby names that mean love and affectionWorld’s top 5 most expensive real estate markets10 habits that instantly make you attractive, as per psychology123Hot PicksIran warDelimitation Bill DefeatPurple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingUK School New RulesZohran MandaniIran MilitaryUber Driver CaseIndian Activist stabbedAdam SandlerJKBOSE class 10 result 2026Ai ScamIPL Orange CapUK Electricity Price

These include 58 healthcare workers, 14 family members and five friends.The minister said none of the identified contacts have shown any symptoms of the disease so far, but they are being closely monitored as a precautionary measure.Public advisory and preventive measures Muraleedharan also urged the public to remain vigilant, noting that the period between May and September is considered high-risk for Nipah virus transmission.He advised people not to touch or provoke bats, which are known carriers of the virus, and to immediately alert authorities if they spot unusual bat activity.The state government, he added, is actively working on measures to prevent further Nipah cases and strengthen surveillance efforts.What is the Nipah virus?World Health Organisation (WHO) describes Nipah virus as a zoonotic virus, usually transmitted from animals to humans, but can also be transmitted through contaminated food or directly between people.Nipah virus was first identified in 1998 during an outbreak among pig farmers in Malaysia. In India, outbreaks are periodically reported in several parts of the country, including the latest one in 2026.Fruit bats from the Pteropodidae family are considered the natural host of Nipah virus and are present in different parts of Asia and in Australia.
