India Israel Relations
Israel is a powerful hub of innovation and technological leadership, and this provides a natural foundation for a visionary partnership. We are committed to expanding trade, strengthening investment flows, and promoting joint infrastructure development. The bilateral investment treaty signed last year will provide confidence and certainty to our businesses. India has signed several important trade agreements with other countries.

To the west are the European Union and the United Kingdom. To the east are the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Our bilateral trade has grown exponentially in recent years. However, this does not reflect the full potential of opportunities. That is why our teams are working hard to negotiate an ambitious free trade agreement. This will unlock the immense potential hidden in our trade relationship.
