India, Israeli occupation agree to expand military cooperation

• 

The Indian Defense Ministry confirmed in a statement on Thursday that India and "Israel" agreed to expand their security cooperation and adopted the so-called "India-Israel Vision on Defense Cooperation."

Earlier, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh met for talks with the Israeli occupation's Security Minister Benny Gantz in New Delhi.

On Wednesday, Gantz said he was heading to India for an official visit "that marks 30 years of diplomatic defense ties between Israel and India."

According to the Indian Defense Ministry statement, "A wide range of issues concerning bilateral, regional and defense industrial cooperation were discussed during the meeting."

"The two Ministers reviewed the existing military-to-military activities which have increased despite the challenges due to Covid-19 pandemic," the statement said.

Gantz and Singh "discussed ways to increase cooperation in all domains with a focus on Research & Development in future technologies and defense co-production," the statement read.

The Indian Defense Ministry said that the two ministers discussed "security challenges and their convergences on a number of strategic and defense issues," and agreed to enhance security cooperation within all existing forums.

Gantz and Singh also exchanged a so-called "Letter of Intent on enhancing cooperation in the field of Futuristic Defense Technologies."

The ministry's statement affirmed that the Indian-Israeli cooperation in the security field "has been one of the significant pillars of the bilateral cooperation."

It is noteworthy that, the Indian government, in addition to sharing a similar fascist political ideology with "Israel," has also recently been suspected to be using Israeli spyware to spy on Indian activists.

The Indian government refused to deny or confirm its usage of Israeli spyware, citing “national security” as a pretext.
