On June 10, 2021, India Post issued a ₹25 commemorative stamp to celebrate 70 years of diplomatic relations between India and Germany. Seven decades earlier, in March 1951, India had taken a historically bold step: it became one of the very first nations in the world to officially recognize the newly sovereign Federal Republic of Germany following World War II.
