German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged Indian IT specialists and other skilled workers to consider working in Germany to tackle labor shortages in the country.
Scholz's coalition government is planning to reduce immigration hurdles and introduce a point-based system that would grant visas to specialists who don't yet have a job offer in hand.
The German leader's trip to India was aimed at deepening economic ties and discussing defense cooperation, including a possible joint venture to build six submarines in India.
