The visit is being viewed as a significant step toward deepening the already robust and multidimensional strategic partnership between the two nations.
In his departure statement, PM Modi emphasized the remarkable progress achieved in bilateral cooperation across sectors such as science and technology, innovation, agriculture, water management, defense, security, trade, and investment. Discussions with Israeli leadership are expected to focus on expanding collaboration in these areas, alongside deliberations on key regional and global issues.
