“An honour to meet PM & FM @slrabuka of Fiji this evening. Always nice to hear his recollections, views, and insights.”

India-Israel Relations: A Strong Strategic Partnership

India and Israel established full diplomatic relations in 1992, and since then, the partnership has flourished across economic, military, agricultural, and political spheres.

On India’s 78th Independence Day in 2024, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called PM Narendra Modi to extend his wishes and discuss the West Asia situation.

Modi emphasized the need for de-escalation, humanitarian assistance, and the release of hostages.

Looking Ahead

As tensions in West Asia continue, India and Israel remain key partners, with growing cooperation in defense, technology, and trade.
The latest meeting in Munich underscores both nations’ commitment to deepening ties and addressing regional challenges together.
