"Modi is expected to land at the Ben Gurion international airport outside Tel Aviv at 12:45pm local time (10:45 GMT). Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to welcome Modi at the airport, as he did during the Indian premier's 2017 visit. The two leaders are scheduled to hold talks shortly after. Then, at 4:30pm (14:30 GMT), Modi is scheduled to address the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, in Jerusalem."
"Overall, Modi and Netanyahu aim to use this visit to bolster strategic economic and defence agreements between India and Israel, officials from both sides have said. We don't compete, we rather complement each other, JP Singh, India's ambassador to Israel, told state broadcaster All India Radio on Monday, speaking of relations with Israel."
"Israel is really good at innovation, science and technology. Therefore, there will be a lot of discussion on AI, cybersecurity and quantum. The two countries plan to strengthen cooperation in these emerging technological domains during the visit."
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi undertakes a two-day visit to Israel, his second since 2017. The visit includes meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog, addressing the Knesset, and visiting Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial. Modi and Netanyahu aim to bolster strategic economic and defense agreements between the nations. India and Israel plan extensive discussions on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and quantum technology. Relations between the countries have significantly improved since Modi came to power in 2014, contrasting with India's historical opposition to Israel's creation and decades of criticism regarding Palestinian policies.
