While the color coordination is a nice human touch, I hope the substantive talks on defense, water tech, and agriculture get equal attention. The strategic partnership is what truly matters for our future.

First Indian PM to address the Knesset! That's the real headline for me. This visit is historic. The personal rapport is great, but the deepening of ties in tech and security is what will benefit India in the long run.
