Jerusalem: In a big boost to Indo-Israel cooperation in hi-tech sector, New Delhi has granted Jerusalem permission to open a consulate in Bangalore.
"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.
