India-Israel relations: Strong partnership, farming-technology cooperation increased since 2006 visit: PM Modi!

This was also on agriculture and many other areas. It is from here that the process of cooperation in this field started between India and Israel, between the companies there and the Indian companies. Looking back today, we have learned what we could not learn in the last fifty years.”

On India-Israel relations, Baba Kalyani says, “I have many friends in Israel who are mainly in the defense sector, because we have partnerships with three companies there, but I think they were very cooperative and comfortable, just because Prime Minister Modi had established a wonderful personal relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I believe that was the main reason and it changed the way of working.”

The ‘Modi Story’ said the visit reflects continuity and depth as Prime Minister Modi continues his engagement with Israel. What started as a niche effort to bring innovation in farming in Gujarat in 2006 has now become a comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries based on technology, trust and a common vision.
