Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Israel’s Ambassador to India Naor Gilon on Tuesday discussed on enhancing the relationship between the countries over the course of time.

According to a statement issued by the Delhi Government, the CM and Ambassador talked about the rich history both the countries share and how they can further be made stronger.

“Both the leaders also deliberated on how Delhi and Israel can help each other become more efficient and work towards positive progress and growth. Arvind Kejriwal asserted that both Delhi and Israel have the potential to work together towards ensuring peace and welfare for humanity," it said.

The CM Office also tweeted about the meeting and said, “Israel Ambassador to India H.E. Shri Naor Gilon called upon Chief Minister of Delhi Shri Arvind Kejriwal at Delhi Secretariat today. Both Delhi and Israel will work together towards ensuring peace and welfare for the people (sic).”

The statement said that the Israeli ambassador heaped praises on the development of Delhi in the recent past and expressed his delight on meeting Kejriwal.

Kejriwal informed Gilon about the welfare policies of the Delhi government and said that Delhiites live a peaceful life because of government programmes that seek to minimise their problems.

"Every resident gets free education, free healthcare, free electricity and free water. On top of that, women and construction labourers get free bus transport in the city. All of this helps them lead a peaceful and dignified life,” he said.
