"An elected Prime Minister of India does not need a visa for Germany, he is welcome there," German Ambassador to India Michael Steiner said in a statement.
His statement assumes signifiance in the context of Modi being denied visa by the some countries so far because of the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat.
The German Ambassador hailed the conduct of 9-phased Lok Sabha elections which will culminate with the counting of votes tomorrow.
"The election process in India was simply breathtaking passionate, powerful, vibrant, involving the whole country twenty four seven. It showed democracy is India`s roots, is India`s identity, is its common denominator.
"Ahead of the next government, whoever will form it, lay huge challenges. Modern Germany is an ideal partner for modern India in tackling these," he added.
