Build long-term stakes in Indian economy
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has called upon Israel to look beyond trade for building long-term stakes in the Indian economy. Addressing an Indian community reception in Jerusalem, Mrs Swaraj said, economic relationship is the key to developing Indo-Israel ties. She said, both countries are expanding co-operation to new areas such as homeland security, innovation, education and science and technology.
Earlier in the day, the External Affairs Minister held talks with the top Israeli leadership and discussed a wide-range of bilateral and regional issues. She said, she had very good meetings with President Reuven Rivlin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other leaders.
