On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a special video message on completion of three decades of the ties, said that there could not have been a better time to set new goals for taking forward India-Israel relations. He added that the cooperation between both the countries have played a key role in the growth stories of both the nations.
PM Modi’s Israeli counterpart Naftali Benett also thanked his Indian counterpart for his “deep commitment” to the "strong and robust friendship", as both nations marked 30 years of establishment of diplomatic ties.
India recognised Israel on September 17, 1950 while full fledged diplomatic relations between both the nations were established on January 29, 1992.
The 30th anniversary of the India-Israel diplomatic relations come at a time when a report by New York Times claimed that India bought snooping software, Pegasus spyware as a part of $2 billion defence deal with Israel in 2017. The report has triggered much controversy as the Opposition alleged that the government indulged in illegal snooping that amounted to “treason.”
