India’s president to visit Israel next week
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIndian President Pranab Mukherjee will visit Israel next week. He is expected to arrive Tuesday and to stay in the country for two days.
Mukherjee accepted an invitation to visit sent by President Reuven Rivlin. He will be received at an official ceremony held in the President’s Residence and will dine with Rivlin.
The office of the president in India includes more practical authority than in Israel, where it is a mostly symbolic function, but it is not an executive office like in the US.
As in Israel, the president is elected indirectly, by members of parliament.
