Indo-Israel ties better under Modi |
The Israeli Ambassador also said that there may be a change in the declaration and policy of India.Appreciating that Indo-Israel ties were more “visible” after the Modi government has come to power, Israel said that India`s policy of not having a “zero-sum game” while dealing with the Jewish nation and the Arab countries has sent a strong message. Ahead of first prime ministerial visit from India, expected to take place in July, Israeli Ambassador here Daniel Carmon also strongly pitched for deeper cooperation in strategic ties, spread over wide-ranging sectors, including, defence, security, agriculture, education and culture.There is a lot of “visibility” in Indo-Israel relations after Prime Minister Narendra Modi has come to power and the Jewish nation respects that change, Mr. Carmon said. The current NDA dispensation has been very open about its relations with Israel as compared to the Manmohan Singh government, which was cautious in openly flaunting India`s ties with Israel.As India and Israel celebrate 25 years of their diplomatic relations this year, Modi is expected to visit the Middle Eastern country in July during which the two sides are expected to finalise pacts in key sectors. Nowadays, things have changed in the Middle East and Israel has good relations with a few Arab countries. Israel and some Arab states have joint-interests with many others.
