Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Israel from February 25 to 26, the Ministry of External Affairs confirmed on Tuesday. The visit marks Modi’s second trip to the country and is expected to reinforce bilateral cooperation across defence, technology, and trade.
Modi’s first visit to Israel in 2017 was historic, as it became the first standalone visit by an Indian prime minister. Since then, ties between the two nations have expanded significantly, with collaboration in agriculture innovation, cybersecurity, water management, and defence production.
Officials said the upcoming visit will include high-level meetings with Israeli leadership, discussions on regional security, and agreements aimed at strengthening economic and technological partnerships. India and Israel currently maintain strong defence ties and growing cooperation in startups and research.
Diplomatic sources view the visit as a continuation of India’s balanced West Asia policy, which maintains engagement with Israel alongside relations with Arab nations. Analysts expect announcements related to joint projects and innovation partnerships.
The trip comes at a time when geopolitical developments in West Asia remain sensitive. Strengthening ties with Israel aligns with India’s focus on strategic autonomy and technology collaboration.
Modi’s visit signals sustained momentum in India–Israel relations and reflects New Delhi’s broader push for global strategic partnerships.
