NARENDRA MODI – Visit to Israel

Dear Bankersdaily Aspirant ,

A visit by a leader from a country to another don’t get the hype like what our Prime Minister Narendra Modi gets. Whenever our Prime Minister is on a visit to another country , there is a buzz about the events and the MoU’s which will be signed during the visit and not but not the least , the speech of Modi during that visit.

Recently Modi has visited three nations and we have already hosted the same in our website.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a three day visit to Israel, which is a country on the Middle East Asia. Narendra Modi visit has been keenly looked out because of the Israel-Palestine conflict. One has to take a keen interest on the happenings on the ongoing tussle between the two governments over the disputed lands. India has always been a supporter of Palestine and has supported for them , but that doesn’t mean that our country is a enemy of Israel.

In fact India signed the largest Defense deal with Israel in April and it was termed as the Largest Defense Contract Deal.  Also after this visit Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also attend the G20 Nations meet happening at Hamburg in Germany. So this visit along with the G20 meet has become a eye catcher for all the news agencies and more than that people are much eager to know about it.

Also another primary cause for the keen observation is our neighboring countries like Pakistan , China and others were also keen to know the deals signed. Usually the Leaders visiting Tel Aviv ( The Largest City in Israel , not the capital of Israel) would also visit Ramallah( The de facto administrative capital of the Palestinian National Authority). But Modi’s plan doesn’t include the visit of Ramallah.

Why Modi’s visit is important ?

• Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Israel to mark 25 years of diplomatic relations between the two nations .
• Yes the diplomatic relations started in the year 1992 , India and Israel established embassies in each other’s state capitals which marked the formalisation of diplomatic ties.
• He will become the first serving Indian Prime Minister to visit Israel – a momentous step after the two countries officially established diplomatic ties in 1992.
• Narendra Modi arrived at the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv and was received by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
• Prime Minster Narendra Modi will stay in the Most Secured Place in the world “King David Hotel” and will be accompanied by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit of three days.

Note : Only the US President will be received by the Israel Counterpart on his arrival and Narendra Modi gets the honor of being received by the Israel Prime Minister and the delegates of Israel.
