ISRAEL’S PRIME MINISTER TO VISIT INDIA EARLY APRIL

Mon 21 March 2022:

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is scheduled to visit India on April 2 for talks on strengthening alliance and ties between the two countries, according to his office, Anadolu Agency reported.

A statement by Bennett’s office said the visit will mark the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Tel Aviv and New Delhi.“The purpose of the visit is to advance and strengthen the strategic alliance between the countries, and to expand bilateral ties. In addition, the leaders will discuss the strengthening of cooperation in a variety of areas, including innovation, economy, research and development, agriculture and more,” said the Israel PM’s foreign media adviser in a statement.

Bennett had earlier described the “deep relationship” between India and Israel as one coming from the heart and not being about interests. India and Israel elevated their bilateral relations to a strategic partnership during the historic visit of PM Modi, the first ever by an Indian PM, to Israel in July 2017.

“Modi restarted relations between India and Israel, and this is of historic importance. The relations between our two unique cultures — the Indian culture and the Jewish culture — are deep, and they rely on meaningful collaborations,” said Bennett.
“I am delighted to pay my first official visit to India at the invitation of my friend, Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi, and together we will continue leading the way for our countries’ relations,” Bennett added.
