Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that his Indian counterpart, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will pay an official visit to Israel on Wednesday.
Netanyahu welcomed what he described as the “tightening” of ties between the two countries and outlined his vision for a strengthened strategic partnership focused on economic cooperation, diplomatic engagement, and security collaboration.
During the visit, Modi is scheduled to deliver a speech at the Knesset, Israel’s parliament — a move underscoring the growing political significance of bilateral relations.
This will be Modi’s second visit to Israel as Prime Minister, following his historic trip in 2017 — the first ever by an Indian head of government. Netanyahu visited India the following year, further consolidating ties between the two nations.
India is Israel’s second-largest trading partner in Asia and its seventh worldwide, according to India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Trade between the two countries spans sectors including defense, technology, agriculture, and innovation.
The upcoming visit is expected to reinforce cooperation across key strategic domains at a time of shifting geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East and beyond.
