NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Israel on Wednesday for a two-day trip aimed at boosting their strategic partnership.
It marks his second visit to Israel after his inaugural trip in 2017, when he became the first Indian leader to ever visit the country.
Modi is scheduled to address the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, on Wednesday evening, which will make him the first Indian premier to do so. He will also hold talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog.
“Our nations share a robust and multifaceted strategic partnership. Ties have significantly strengthened in the last few years. I will be holding talks with PM Netanyahu, in which we will discuss ways to strengthen cooperation across diverse fields,” he said in a statement.
“I am confident that my state visit will further consolidate the enduring bonds between the two countries, set new goals for the strategic partnership, and advance our shared vision for a resilient, innovative and prosperous future.”
