The German President has conferred Syed Ibrahim from Kerala with the 'Cross of the Order of Merit' in recognition of his commitment towards improving Indo-German relations.

German Consul General in Bengaluru, J rn Rohde will present the 'Cross of the Order of Merit' of Germany on October 3 to Syed Ibrahim, Director of the Goethe-Zentrum here. He is also the Managing Director of the software company Palnar Transmedia Pvt Ltd, a press release said.
