Germany has lifted restrictions on selling small arms to India, citing their growing strategy and military partnership. This exception allows Germany to sell small arms to India's military and state police forces, marking a shift in their policy towards non-NATO countries. The recent move permits India's National Security Guard to procure spare parts for MP5 submachine guns. This decision follows Germany's easing of export licensing rules, responding to Indian requests. The two nations emphasize their shared commitment to freedom of navigation, passage rights, and maritime laws, solidifying their strategic ties.
