Yair Kulas, Head of SIBAT.
“This year also marks the 30th anniversary of India and Israel’s highly valued partnership, which has been a key part of strengthening India-Israel defence cooperation. Over the past few years, the close relationship between Israeli defence industries and their Indian counterparts has grown as both sides have adjusted to the ‘Make in India’ policy. We’re looking forward to working with our Indian partners for the next 30 years,” he said.
