“India attaches great importance to its relations with Israel, which have progressed and evolved significantly in recent years. We cooperate and exchange knowledge in many fields including defense, agriculture, scientific research and development. We identify other areas with potential for cooperation. We will seize this opportunity to discuss the global challenges that both countries face today, including increased terrorist threat far, our shared concerns on global warming, and the immediate need to reform the infrastructure of the international organizations.” (President of India Pranab Mukherjee speaking alongside Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, during a first visit by an Indian head of State to Israel, 14/10/2015)
