The two leaders, PM Modi and Bennett met for the first time last October on the sidelines of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, where PM Modi had invited Bennett for an official visit to India. The Israeli PMO said in a release that the visit is aimed at furthering and strengthening the strategic alliance between the countries and expanding bilateral ties. In addition, the two leaders will discuss strengthening cooperation in various sectors including innovation, economy, research and development, agriculture and more.
The visit will mark the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of full diplomatic relations between the two countries since India opened the embassy in Tel Aviv in 1992. Over the years, bilateral engagement has revolved around defence and agriculture, but in recent years the relationship has seen rapid growth across a wide range of sectors.
