Foreign Minister Eli Cohen is set to take off for India Monday night, where he will meet in New Delhi with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar during his three-day visit.
He will also meet the agriculture minister and national security adviser.
Cohen will sign agreements on foreign workers in construction and elder care, and on water technology.
He is bringing a business delegation of some 36 Israeli representatives, and will open the Israel-India Economic Forum.
The final day of the visit will be in Mumbai, where Cohen will visit the Chabad center that suffered the lethal terrorist attack in 2008.
Cohen says that the visit “will deepen the strategic partnership with one of the world powers.’” He adds that India can play a key role in expanding the Abraham Accords.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
