At the invitation of my dear friend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, I will be undertaking a State Visit
to Israel from 25-26 February 2026.
India and Israel share a robust and multifaceted Strategic Partnership that has witnessed remarkable
growth and dynamism in recent years. I look forward to my discussions with Prime Minister Netanyahu
aimed at further strengthening our cooperation across various domains, including science and technology,
innovation, agriculture, water management, technology, defence and security, trade and investment, as
well as people-to-people ties. We will also exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual
interest.
During the visit, I will also meet with H.E. Mr. Isaac Herzog, President of Israel. I will also have the
honour of becoming the first Indian Prime Minister to address the Israeli Parliament, Knesset, an occasion
that would be a tribute to the strong parliamentary and democratic ties that bind our two nations.
I also eagerly look forward to interacting with the members of the Indian diaspora who have for long been
nurturing the India-Israel special friendship.
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.
