India’s Union Agriculture Minister, Shri. Radha Mohan Singh, will travel to Israel 18th-20th of September, 2016.

 

During the visit, Minister Singh will hold meetings with his host, Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel, and with Ambassador Gil Haskel, Head of MASHAV (Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation). The program will include a tour of Ramat HaNegev R&D Center, Naan-Dan-Jain, the Dan Region Wastewater Treatment Plant – “Shafdan” - and more. Minister Singh will also visit the Agricultural Research Organization at Volcani Center where he will address post-doctorate students from India.  

This is a reciprocal visit following that of Israeli Minister of Agriculture, Uri Ariel to India in 2015.

 

Daniel Carmon, Ambassador of Israel in India: “The Minister of Agriculture’s visit to Israel highlights agriculture as one of the cornerstones of the ever-growing relations, friendship and partnership between India and Israel. It is not a merely ceremonial visit, it builds on the successful cooperation between our two countries involving Israel’s MASHAV activity in India and the productive Centers of Excellence we have built and now operate together.”
