As India marks 80 years of independence, we celebrate its remarkable journey and the strong bond between the world’s largest democracy and the Jewish state.

During his historic visit to Israel in February 2026, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi became the first Indian Prime Minister to address the Knesset, delivering moving words of solidarity that reflected a partnership built on democracy, resilience, innovation, and mutual respect.

Happy 80th Independence Day, India! May the friendship between India and Israel continue to deepen and flourish for generations to come.
