Benefits India
In the last few years, relations between India and Germany have become very strong. Even though Frederick Merge is not in power. But Indian Foreign Minister S.K. Jaishankar continues to meet him. This journey shows that relations between the two countries are cordial. Business relations between Germany and India are good. This victory can have a positive impact on India.
Jerk to America
Therefore, America’s ideology in this regard is right wing. And he is not in favor of the AFD party. The victory of Merz has shocked the US government. Tesla’s owner Elon Musk has publicly supported AFD. And US Vice President J.D. Vance has also met his leaders. But the CDU’s victory in Germany has rejected the right -wing forces. This may affect America’s European policy.
What about Ukraine?
Germany’s role has been very important during the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. Now since the government of Frederick Mars is coming to power, it can be good news for Ukraine. CDU is a party that has been in favor of adopting strict policies against Russia. This can give Ukraine another strong supporter in Europe, which can unite Western countries and put more pressure on Russia.
Why will this situation remain for China?
This political situation in Germany will not change much for China. The business relations between China and Germany are very deep and the CDU government will be willing to maintain these relations. Although China will not benefit as much from Germany as it was under the SPD government, there will be no major changes on a large scale.
