(The Diplomat) Alvite Ningthoujam - Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar's visit to Israel in October 2021 highlighted the upward trajectory of relations between the two countries, with military-security cooperation only one of many items on the agenda.

Simultaneously, Indian, Israeli, and Emirati leaders are signaling their willingness to forge trilateral partnerships, as well as with the involvement of the U.S., to focus on trade, maritime security, and joint infrastructural development projects.
