PM Modi to arrive in Tel Aviv shortly, to be welcomed by his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu
Modi’s three-day visit beginning today is aimed at commemorating 25 years of establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries and will also see discussions between him and his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu to explore ways to enhance cooperation in key strategic areas.
On Monday, PM Modi had described India’s ties with Israel as “special” and said his visit - the first-ever by an Indian premier to the country - will “lead to further cementing” of bilateral ties and cooperation in key areas including counter-terrorism.
“My visit comes at a special moment- we mark 25 years of the establishment of relations between India and Israel this year,” Modi had said on the eve of his three-day visit to Israel.
In an interview to the pro-government daily ‘Israel Hayom’, Modi said his visit was “based on the deep centuries-old connection between our two peoples.”
“I share the opinion of many of my people, who see Israel as a beacon of technology, as a country that has managed to survive even though the odds were against it.”
Modi’s visit is expected to focus on forging new defence and cyber security ties, two areas in which Israel has sought to portrays itself as a world leader, the daily said.
