Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) wants to significantly expand the immigration of skilled workers from India, for example from the IT sector. “The fact is that we want to simplify the issuing of visas,” said Scholz during a visit to the southern Indian tech metropolis of Bengaluru on Sunday. “In addition to the legal modernization, we intend to modernize the entire bureaucratic process.” It takes a lot of skilled workers to meet the need for software development, he said.
