India-Israel Defence Ties to Deepen Amid Global Arms Curbs

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visited Israel and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

They talked about how to make India and Israel work together better in areas like technology, the economy, and security.

Jaishankar also met with other important leaders in Israel, like the President and other ministers.

He came to Israel from Abu Dhabi, where he had other important meetings.

Both leaders are confident that their countries' friendship will keep getting stronger.

Netanyahu is also planning to visit India soon.

Israel is looking to India as a long-term defence manufacturing and strategic partner, especially as other countries impose arms embargoes or restrictions.

They want to work together on making defence equipment and technology, not just for India but also for Israel's own needs and to sell to other countries.

India is seen as a good place for Israel to set up defence production facilities because of its ability to scale up manufacturing.

Both countries are working on agreements to make this cooperation stronger, focusing on joint development and manufacturing partnerships.
