India, Israel come closer with several more agreements
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu and held bilateral at Hyderabad House in the capital. The two sides inked nine pacts in the areas of oil and gas, agriculture, science and technology, amended protocol for airports, and cyber security.
While addressing a joint press conference after the delegation level talks with Netanyahu, Prime Minister Modi said, “We will strengthen the existing pillars of cooperation in areas that touch the lives of our peoples. These are agriculture, science and technology and security.”
He further said, “We exchanged views on scaling up the centres of excellence that have been a mainstay of agricultural cooperation.”
India and Israel have agreed to enhance co-operation in the areas of agriculture, science and technology and security, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday.
Israeli PM Banjamin Netanyahu arrived in the capital for a six day visit on Sunday. He will travel to Agra, Ahmedabad and Mumbai.
Netanyahu is the second Israeli PM to visit India after Ariel Sharon visited in 2003. He was accorded a ceremonial reception at Rashtrapati Bhawan in the morning. He is on a six day visit to India within six months to Modi’s Israel visit in July last year. Modi was the first Indian PM to visit Israel since its inception.

The first such meeting took place when PM Narendra Modi visited Israel in July 2017. Netanyahu will also address India Israel Business Summit.
While addressing a joint press conference Netanyahu said, “Indians and Israelis remember too well the savagery of the horrific terrorist attacks,” he said while referring to Mumbai 26-11 attacks. “We fight back, we never give in,” the Israeli PM added.
Netanyahu said, “Despite the doubts and challenges India and Israel are living proof that democracy works and indicates something deeper — the intrinsic value of freedom. We are proud we are seizing the future to make lives better around the world. India abounds with creativity. If we join hands together, we can achieve more for our people.”
Praising PM Narendra Modi for his visit to Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Your visit to Israel was groundbreaking as it was the first time an Indian leader visited the country. You (PM Narendra Modi) are catapulting India into future and are revolutionising India-Israel relations.”
Raveesh Kumar, spokesperson of Ministry of External Affairs posted a tweet after the meeting between the two leaders.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
