The government of India and the government of the State of Israel signed a Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIT) in New Delhi on Monday. This marks a forward step in the ties of both countries to expand cooperation and engagement in the development and growth through investments.

In the X post, the Ministry of Finance said Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs Nirmala Sitharaman and Finance Minster of Israel H.E. Mr. Bezalel Smotrich signed the BIT.

A bilateral investment treaty (BIT) is a reciprocal agreement between two countries to promote and protect private foreign investments made by investors of one country in the other’s territory. BITs establish a legal framework that grants investors certain guarantees, such as fair and equitable treatment, protection from expropriation, and free transfer of funds, while balancing these investor rights with the host country’s sovereign powers.

Smotrich is on a three-day visit to India between September 8 and 10, during which he is expected to meet his Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, and Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal Khattar also.

Besides Delhi, he will also visit Mumbai and the GIFT City in Gandhinagar.Varun Yadav
