Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying Rajiv Ranjan Singh, will be undertaking an official visit to Israel from January 13 to 15, 2026, on the invitation of Minister of Agriculture and Food Security of Israel, Avi Dichter to participate in the ‘Second Global Summit on Blue Food Security: Sea the Future’ being held in Eilat, Israel. The visit underscores the growing strategic and economic engagement between India and Israel and reflects the shared commitment of both countries to deepen bilateral cooperation in the field of fisheries and aquaculture.
During the visit, apart from participating in the summit, Singh is also expected to have separate bilateral meetings with his Israeli counterpart Dichter and ministers of other countries attending the conference.
Discussions are expected to focus on strengthening bilateral cooperation through policy alignment and institutional partnerships, promoting sustainable fisheries management and modern aquaculture technologies, enhancing research, capacity building and innovation linkages, facilitating trade and investment through improved market access and standards, joint R&D in advanced aquaculture and advancing the blue economy agenda with emphasis on sustainability, climate resilience and food security.
The minister will also meet CEOs of major Israeli companies/start-ups in fields of agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture. The programme includes visits to key institutions and innovation hubs offering insights into Israel’s cutting-edge technological ecosystem in the field of fisheries and aquaculture.
The visit is expected to further reinforce the longstanding partnership between India and Israel, strengthen collaboration in fisheries and aquaculture, and create new pathways for collaboration in areas of mutual interest.
