Israel India | Business Guide | 2017

Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of India in Israel > Greetings > 007 Dr. Anju Kumar Dear Friends, I am very pleased to be part of the 2017 edition of India-Israel Business Guide. I am confident that the publication would be a useful tool for businessmen in both countries who wish to engage with each other. Such publications with a pragmatic outlook could provide valuable inputs to the industry. As India and Israel celebrate 25 years of establishment of their full diplomatic ties, it is time to reflect what has been achieved and what more could be done for themutual benefit of our two peoples. Our bilateral relationship has strengthened and diversified to all fields of human endeavor. Time is ripe to strengthen our cooperation in traditional areas such as water and food security and deepen ties in academic, science & technology and joint research and innovation.Indian and Israeli economies are complementary in nature. Israeli strengths such as innovation,out of the box solutions and academic excellence can be matched by Indian strengths and could be taken to very large scales for Indian, Israeli and third- country markets. The recent high level visits including of the two Presidents, India’s Foreign Minister, Israeli Defence Minister and others have shown increased focus of the two political establishments to take the relationship to a new level. I hope that stakeholders on both sides would be able to channelize the ongoing momentum for the greater good of people in both India and Israel. My team at the Embassy would be glad to facilitate all efforts on this front. I congratulate all those who made this publication a reality and wish them all the very best in their future endeavours. Regards, Dr. Anju Kumar Deputy Chief of Mission Embassy of India in Israel
