During US President Joe Biden's trip to Israel, the leaders the two countries met virtually with those of India and the United Arab Emirates to discuss food security and clean energy.
The leaders of Israel, India, the United States and the United Arab Emirates held their first four-part summit on Zoom today, in the framework of the I2U2 forum established by Prime Minister Yair Lapid last October as foreign minister.
The four leaders agreed to work together, harnessing their countries’ capabilities and ingenuity to address global challenges such as food security, fighting climate change and clean energy.
Israel has strong ties with India, both diplomatically and in security. Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nurtured warm relations with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his successor Naftali Bennett continued those efforts.
Israel is India’s biggest trade partner for security equipment and economic ties in other fields are also increasing rapidly.
