Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a two-day State Israel visit this morning, marking his second official visit to the country. The visit is aimed at further strengthening the India-Israel Strategic Partnership.
During the trip, PM Modi will hold bilateral talks with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu. The two leaders are expected to review the significant progress achieved in recent years and explore new opportunities for cooperation.
Key areas of discussion will include science and technology, innovation, defence and security, agriculture, water management, trade and economic collaboration, and people-to-people exchanges. The leaders are also likely to exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual interest.
In a historic moment, PM Modi will address the Knesset, becoming the first Indian Prime Minister to do so. India’s Ambassador to Israel, J P Singh, confirmed that the Prime Minister’s address to the Israeli Parliament will take place during the visit.
On the second day of the trip, PM Modi will call on Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
According to the Ministry of External Affairs, the visit will reaffirm the deep and long-standing strategic partnership between India and Israel. It will also provide an opportunity to review shared challenges and align efforts toward building a stronger partnership between two resilient democracies.
The visit is seen as a significant step in enhancing diplomatic, economic, and defence ties between the two nations.
