A security delegation led by Defense Ministry Director-General Amir Baram arrived in India for a working visit, meeting with the defense minister, chief of staff, and other senior officials. Discussions focused on deepening bilateral defense-industrial partnerships and expanding Israel's defense exports eastward, the ministry says.
The Israeli defense delegation, led by Ministry of Defense Director-General Amir Baram (Res. Maj. Gen.), arrived in India on Monday for a short working visit, according to a statement from the ministry. Baram held a series of high-level meetings with India's defense minister, defense secretary, chief of staff, and additional senior Indian defense officials.
The discussions centered on deepening bilateral defense-industrial cooperation and expanding Israel's defense exports eastward, in line with the ministry's stated strategy. Baram described India as a 'central strategic partner of the State of Israel,' adding that the visit reflected both the growing defense alliance and a relationship rooted in shared values and mutual trust.
The visit follows an earlier meeting between Baram and Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi earlier Monday, as The Zioneer reported. That meeting was also part of the same high-level dialogue aimed at strengthening ties between the two countries' defense establishments.
No specific agreements or project announcements have been released. The visit underscores Israel's push to diversify its strategic partnerships eastward, particularly amid shifting regional dynamics.
