India is the largest democracy and progressing rapidly: Israel's Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana

| @indiablooms | Apr 03, 2023, at 02:59 am

Israel's Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana said he decided to visit India first after assuming his position as it is the largest democracy in the world and because the country is progressing rapidly in recent years.

Ohana said India and Israel have a great connection between leaders, between the people and a great new connection between parliaments.

Knesset is the supreme authority of the country.

It is the unicameral parliament of Israel.

"I chose India as my first destination as speaker to visit because it's the largest democracy in the world, because it is progressing rapidly in recent years, because the connection between our two countries is so great in recent years and because never has a speaker of the Knesset visited India," Ohana told ANI.

"So, in that case, it is a historic visit. I met the president of India, the vice president who is also the speaker of the upper house and the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, the lower house which I signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with to strengthen the relationship between the parliaments. So, we have a great connection between the leaders, between the people and a great new connection between parliaments," the Knesset Speaker further said.
