The delegation led by Mr. Wolfgang Tiefensee, Minister of Economics, Sciences and Digital Economy of State Thuringia was the first major trade and investment cooperation initiative in the aftermath of corona. Minister Tiefensee highlighted Germany, and the state of Thuringia, as an attractive destination for strategic business and university alliances in recognition of the changing role of India in geopolitical world order.
Accompanied by Minister Tiefensee, Prof. Dr. Friesendorf met with Mr. Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of Skills Development and Entrepreneurship, Government of India to discuss skills development of Indian healthcare professionals in SRH campuses with the broader goal of staffing in German hospitals and clinics.
