Welcoming the move, Israel's foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, expressed his gratitude to his Indian counterpart, S M Krishna, in Jerusalem on a two day visit, emphasising that the move will give a big push to the burgeoning Indo-Israel trade ties.
"It
is a wonderful news coming at a time when the two countries are
celebrating 20 years of establishment of diplomatic relations",
Lieberman said.
Senior representatives from the Israeli hi-tech sector, many with offices in Bangalore,
also welcomed the move saying that it will help cut down a lot of costs
and time required to travel to other places for bureaucratic purposes.
Israel already has a consulate in Mumbai and its embassy is located in New Delhi.
