New Delhi, January 29

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a recorded video message, said on Saturday that the 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties between India and Israel was the best time to set new goals for their friendship. Both sides decided on a ‘visible celebration’ of the anniversary despite the Pegasus revelations by New York Times.

As dusk fell, Teen Murti Chowk in the heart of the national Capital and the Gateway of India, sported multi-coloured lighting to mark the occasion. The video messages of both the Prime Ministers followed a couple of hours later. Israel PM Naftali Bennett said India and Israel had “gehri dosti (deep friendship)” and expressed confidence over the ties growing even stronger in future. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
