New Delhi, May 28 (ANI): German Defense Minister, Ursula von der Leyen, called on India to work in collaboration with her country on resolving the challenges posed by various facets of militancy.

Speaking at a venue packed with German and Indian delegates in New Delhi, Leyen said that Germany wanted a close dialogue with India as a partner over issues of global concern. Leyen added that open societies like India and Germany could not be intimidated by militant attacks.

Leyen arrived in India on Tuesday (May 26), on a three day visit, to deepen bilateral ties and focus on regional and international security and defence issues.
