Dubai, Nov 9:
Defence ties with Israel will get a further boost during high-level ongoing talks between Chief of Army Staff Gen Deepak Kapoor and top Israeli officials, including Defence Minister Ehud Barak.
Gen Kapoor's four-day visit to Israel is believed to have been given top billing here, coming as it does just before the first anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks on the Taj hotel as well as a Chabad House (of Jews), during which over 170 people were killed, including the Chabad emissary to Mumbai and his pregnant wife.
The visit is a direct outcome of Israeli efforts to bolster military ties and export military hardware. Gen Kapoor, who arrived in Tel Aviv on Saturday, is meeting the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) Chief of General Staff Lt Gen Gabi Ashkenazi and other senior officials. Gen Kapoor will visit Yad Vashem in Jerusalem as well as the IDF's Southern Command during his visit.
