Israel to deepen ties with India and China
Israel is forging strong ties with the two Asian powers demonstrated by the first-ever visit of an Indian prime minister to Israel to take place this year and Israel and China completing a free-trade agreement.
Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is scheduled to make an historic visit to Israel in 2017. India's Ambassador to Israel, Pavan Kapoor, made the announcement Monday night in an exclusive interview with Ynet marking the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Israel and India.
Priime Minister Modi's visit will mark the first time in history an Indian prime minister will visit Israel. Modi's visit is a sign of an upgrade in relations on all levels. In the last two years, there have been two high-profile visits between officials. In 2015, President of India, Pranab Mukherjee, visited Israel and in 2016, President Rivlin visited India in return. In January, Prime Minister Modi also met with Minister of Agriculture, Uri Ariel, who was in India to finalize an upgrade in agricultural relations between the two nations.
