    Best time to take India-Israel relations ahead: PM Modi
    Digital Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a special video message to mark thirty years of full diplomatic ties between India and Israel.

    In the message, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that there could be no better time to set new plans to take forward ties between the two nations.

    PM Modi said, "There could be no better opportunity to set new goals for India-Israel cooperation than when India is celebrating 75 years of Independence, Israel is about to do the same next year, and the two nations are commemorating 30 years of full diplomatic relations."

    Prime Minister Modi also complimented both countries and stated he fully believes that the friendship between India and Israel will strengthen over the next few years.

    Moreover, he emphasized that the individuals of the two countries have conveyed a close-knit connection for the long term. Both the nations have played influential roles in each other's growth journeys.

    Although India had identified Israel on September 17, 1950, full-fledged diplomatic ties between the nations were established on January 29, 1992. The bilateral ties between both nations have evolved into multifaceted strategic collaborations.

    Earlier this week, Israel's ambassador to India, Naor Gilon, had stated the 30th anniversary of India-Israel diplomatic relations is a fine prospect to look forward to and shape the following 30 years of ties.

    Gilon further shared a videotape of the Masada Fortress in the Judean Desert decorated with the flags of both the nations to celebrate the completion of three decades of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

    On this occasion, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett expressed his country shares a "gehri dosti" (deep companionship) with India. He also thanked his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi for his "deep responsibility" to the "healthy and strong company".

    On this, Indian prime minister Narendra Modi wrote in Hindi, "Together we will continue to achieve more remarkable achievements."
