Israeli President Reuven Rivlin will lead a high-profile delegation on a six-day visit to India beginning November 15 to boost cooperation in the field of security, education, cyber, energy, water and agriculture.

Informed sources in Jerusalem said President Rivlin will meet President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan among others during his visit.

President Rivlin would be only the second Israeli President to visit India since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries in 1992 and his visit comes almost after a gap of 20 years since former President Ezer Weizmann visited India in 1996-97.

President Rivlin will lead a high-profile delegation of business leaders and academics during his visit to India from November 15-20.

Reuven Rivlin said,“The cooperation is not only in innovation but you know very well that we are trying our very best to address problems of agriculture, water, energy, cyber and every need of security that we have to work out in order to be prepared for the kind of burden of security that is imposed on both people."

"I would like to see your Prime Minister visit Israel", the 77-year-old president had said.
