New German envoy Martin Ney on Wednesday presented his credentials to President Pranab Mukherjee at a ceremony held at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
In his welcome message, Ney stressed that India and Germany have strong bilateral ties which were a great foundation to build on.
He said he was convinced that the upcoming inter-governmental consultations in Delhi and Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit in early October will provide another boost to the India-Germany partnership, said a statement from the German embassy.

Ney -- who takes over from Michael Steiner -- emphasised that Germany was offering India a full-scale partnership.
