This was revealed by German Deputy Commissioner from the Foreign Office in Berlin, Jens Buentjen, who called on Hyderabad Mayor Banda Karthika Chandra Reddy at her Chambers on Tuesday.
Jens Buentjen informed that with a huge diversity of events, "Germany and India 2011-2012", will showcase the entire spectrum of German's cooperation with India - politics, business, culture, education, science and research - under the umbrealla theme 'Stadt Raeume-City Spaces'.
"Germany and India 2011-2012" is scheduled from autumn 2011 to autumn 2012, he said.
It is intended to extend and intensify long-term cooperation based on partnership in all fields, Jens Buentjen added.
The organizers are guided by the vision of Germany and India working together as partners, on the basis of mutual trust and shared values, to meet future challenges.
