Sixteen bilateral memorandums of understanding are signed between Israel and India, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s office announces, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and visiting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hold a press conference at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
Within this framework, Sa’ar and Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar signed “cooperation agreements in the areas of agricultural innovation and technologies, the use of civilian drones, satellite data, irrigation and fertilization management, pest control, greenhouse cultivation, and the transfer of knowledge in advanced agricultural technologies,” reads a statement from Sa’ar’s office.
The ministers also signed a memorandum of understanding for the establishment of a research and innovation center in the field of agriculture in India, the statement adds, saying that under the initiative, “training programs for instructors, expert exchanges, and academic collaborations will also take place.”
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.
