June 28,2017:

Make in India and International Yoga Day adds to Modi's popularity.

"Wake up:  most important PM of the world is coming", is how Prime Minister Narendra Modi's forthcoming visit to Israel, first by an Indian PM , is described in an article in one of leading Israeli business daily.

The Business daily 'The Marker' in its feature story Hebrew edition discussing Indo-Israel ties states that the Israelis had set up huge expectations from the US President Donald Trump's visit to  the Jewish State but "he didn't say much" while Modi, a leader of 1.25 billion people enjoying the massive popularity and representing one of fastest growing economies of  the world deserves a lot of attention.

India related activities in Israel have attracted far more attention in view of the Modi's visit than ever before.

International Yoga Day celebrations in Israel saw massive coverage by Israeli media with some commentators talking about "soft diplomatic power it arms New Delhi with".

Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu has hailed his PM Modi's visit to Israel during his opening remarks at the weekly cabinet meeting as "very significant step" in strengthening the bilateral relations that are on a "constant upswing".

Israel's PM  further added that,"Next week, Indian Prime Minister, my friend, Narendra Modi will arrive in Israel. This is a historic visit to Israel.

In 70 years of the country's existence, no Indian Prime Minister has ever visited and this is further expression of state of Israel's military, economic and the diplomatic strength".

Modi's three-day visit starting on July 4 is aimed at commemorating 25 years of the establishment of the diplomatic ties between two countries.
