Good to see focus on blue food security. With climate change affecting fish stocks, we need these partnerships. But I hope the minister also addresses the challenges our own fishermen face - from mechanized boats to market access. The benefits should reach the ground level.

While international cooperation is important, I respectfully question the timing and optics. Given the current situation in the region, perhaps virtual conferences could be considered. That said, the focus on sustainable food systems is crucial for our future.

The emphasis on AI and Big Data in fisheries is fascinating! Israel's expertise in tech-driven agriculture can help India optimize fish farming. This could be a game-changer for protein security in our growing population.

As someone from a coastal district, I welcome this. Our traditional fishermen need better technology and cold chain infrastructure. If this visit leads to knowledge transfer on mariculture and reducing post-harvest losses, it will be very beneficial. All the best to the delegation!

Hope the focus on 'Sustainable Food Systems' is genuine. We must learn to increase production without harming our marine biodiversity. The health of our oceans is just as important as the food they provide. Jai Hind!
