Israeli President to visit India

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin will meet President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan during his visit along with a high-profile delegation on a six-day visit to India in mid-November to boost cooperation in the field of security, education, cyber, energy, water and agriculture.

Rivlin will be the second Israeli President to visit India after the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries in 1992. His visit comes after a gap of 20 years since former President Ezer Weizmann had visited India in 1996-97.

Rivlin had said earlier that “the cooperation between the two countries is something that is said all over.”

“The cooperation is not only in innovation but you know very well that we are trying our very best to address problems of agriculture, water, energy, cyber and every need of security that we have to work out in order to be prepared for the kind of burden of security that is imposed on both people. I would like to see your Prime Minister here”, he had said.

The Israeli President’s visit would pave the way for Modi’s visit to Jerusalem, first by an Indian Prime Minister and is likely to take place probably by next year, when the two countries will celebrate 25th anniversary of establishment of the diplomatic relations.
