Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor Eli Yishai will arrive in the Indian city of Goa on Sunday as part of an Israeli business delegation.

During his stay, Yishai is scheduled to meet with Israeli youth staying at the popular backpacker destination.

Yishai is being accompanied by the chairman of the Israel Anti-Drug Abuse Foundation (IADAF), Haim Mesing.

Yishai recently transferred five million shekels to the IADAF. In response, Mesing invited the minister to visit the organization's hostel in Goa which treats hundreds of Israelis who suffer from symptoms of drug abuse while travelling in the Indian sub-continent each year.

The IADAF website describes the organization is a "quasi-governmental group operating under the aegis of the prime minister."
