March 29, 22
(IDEX Online) - Israel's Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is due to discuss diamond and other trade links with India when he visits the country for the first time.
Cut and polished diamonds are India's second-largest export to Israel ($1.1bn) behind processed petroleum products ($1.3bn).
Bennett's is due to visit this coming weekend. However he has tested positive for Covid and is not yet clear whether the trip to see his counterpart Narendra Modi will go ahead.
If it does, it will mark 30 years of relations between the two countries and provide an opportunity for both sides to move closer to a new investment pact.
