INDO-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP




The recent visit by our Prime Minister to Israel has marked a continuing relationship since Israel became an independent Nation in 1948! Both India and Israel have an ancient history and civilization marked by succession of super power empires of the ‘time’ till the British Empire.
                          Like India, Israel is a nation on earth that inhabits the same land, bears the same name, language and culture since time immemorial and a roller coaster relationship with neighbouring
countries; occupying centre stage in global affairs.
                         “Whoever blesses Israel, is blessed” (Bible) and indeed India and its people will grow in prosperity! The very cordial approach,bon homie and openness in several rounds of discussions followed by signing of major agreements marks a progressive change in India’s foreign policy, and is seen as a major diplomatic victory.
Some of the Highlights of the visit and discussions by Prime Minister NarendraModi
are given below:-

Ø   Focus on Business deals. A total of seven agreements were signed in sectors ranging  from Agriculture, Water conservation, Space, satellite technology.
Ø  Greater cooperation on Terror and calls for taking strong measures against terror organization, their networks and supporters, providing sanctuary .
Ø  Creation of a $40 million Innovation funds .
Ø  Transaction and sanction for Military Equipment purchase
Ø  Make In India Campaign; emphasis on Defence Technology transfer to Indian partners
Ø  Boosting trade and investment
Ø  Strengthening of cultural and diplomatic ties.
Ø  Address to the Indian diaspora and settlers in Israel by PM Narendra Modi.

             From the above it is clear that Indo Israel relationship signal close relationship and friendship amongst the Government and people which is here to stay! Both Mr NarendraModi and Mr Netanyahu have accomplished a milestone in constantly searching for allies at the United Nations as new business partners, in an ever changing and interdependent World.
              The Year 2017 marks a turning point in the history of Indo-Israel relationship and both the Nations are an embodiment of cultural continuity and truly a blessed example for other Nations seeking PEACE!
