President Rivlin congratulated the director of Israel Aircraft Industries(IAI), Yossi Weiss, on Thursday on signing the largest business deal in the IAI's history with India.
The two spoke about the fact that the basis for the agreement was initiated when the president visited India and about its importance for the growth of the aircraft industry in Israel.
"Please bless all the members who worked to attain this significant achievement. You have gone a long way to reach it and this is truly excellent," Rivlin told Weiss.
Weiss thanked the president for his support and for allowing representatives of the aircraft industry to join his entourage when he visited India four months ago.
