Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Israel reached a crescendo with the Knesset conferring its most prestigious ‘Speaker of the Knesset Medal’ upon him Wednesday. As the inaugural Indian PM to receive this distinction, Modi’s speech captivated the assembly, blending diplomacy with vision.
The medal salutes his instrumental efforts in fortifying India-Israel strategic bonds. Grateful for the gesture, Modi lauded the Knesset, pointing to the enduring friendship that underpins bilateral progress.
A key highlight was Modi’s disclosure of India’s new Parliamentary Foreign Group for Israel. Extending invitations to visit, he called for amplified exchanges between legislators, paving the way for legislative synergies.
On the economic front, the PM painted an optimistic picture of India’s growth trajectory, soon to claim a spot in the global top three. Commitments to amplify trade, invigorate investments, and co-develop infrastructure were firmly restated, eyeing exponential bilateral gains.
Weaving in civilizational threads, Modi juxtaposed ‘Tikkun Olam’ with ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ philosophies that champion global unity and repair. This alignment, he asserted, propels both nations toward common goals.
The honor spotlights intensified collaborations in defense tech, startups, and innovation hubs. In an era of uncertainty, it affirms the resilience of India-Israel partnership, heralding deeper integration across sectors.
