India and Israel are expected to sign an extradition treaty and an agreement on transfer of sentenced persons, during external affairs minister S. M. Krishna's three-day visit to Jerusalem from January 9.
In what would mark the beginning of commemoration of two decades of establishment of diplomatic ties, Krishna will meet Israeli President Simon Peres, PM Benjamin Netanyahu and his counterpart and deputy PM Avigdor Lieberman, besides travelling to Ramallah to meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Sources said the extradition treaty would enable the two countries to track down international criminal gangs, drug warlords and crime syndicates.
Krishna's trip is taking place after four Israeli ministers including Israeli finance minister Yuval Steinitz visited India this year. Steinitz's offer to sell natural gas to India during his visit here earlier this month is expected to gather momentum during Krishna's trip.
Indo-Israeli ties have grown following a strategic partnership between the two countries.
