NDTV
India and Israel have established bilateral consultation mechanisms in all sectors of collaboration, including water, agriculture, counter-terrorism, and defence.
In a significant visit, Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Eli Cohen will be here in New Delhi in the Month of May this year as both countries celebrate thirty years of diplomatic relations.
The visit comes after Israeli Economy Minister Nir Barkat, who travelled to India this year in April with a large business delegation on a four-day official visit to strengthen bilateral ties in common areas of interest, automotive technologies, and fintech. The former mayor of Jerusalem also visited Delhi and Mumbai.
In late March, Israeli Knesset speaker Amir Ohana too paid an official visit to India where an MoU on the first cooperation and exchange of information agreement between the parliaments of Israel and India was signed. The visit comes at a time when Israel is celebrating its 75th Anniversary of Independence.
In an event marked here to celebrate it, Israeli Ambassador to India Naor Gilon hailed the ties that the two countries share and said that he is looking forward to hosting the Foreign Minister soon.
