Our Consulate in Bengaluru is not just a symbol of the strengthening relations between Israel and India but a real manifestation of the progress Israel and India have made through the years.
Israel is a flourishing high tech hub, leading the world in many indicators of innovations, technology and research, Bengaluru is the Silicon Valley of India, playing host to numerous leading high-tech, biotech and scientific companies and institution. It was therefore only natural that Israel opened a Diplomatic representation in Bengaluru.
The States of Southern India – Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu are very unique and significant. They required a dedicated Israeli Consulate in Bengaluru to develop the commercial, academic and cultural relations, as well as to increase co-operation in the fields of agriculture, development, education, healthcare and more than all between people. Israel and the states of South India complement one another, creating a strong synergy that is already benefitting both the sides. We can all be rest assured that this viable partnership will only grow stronger with time.
