Sky is the limit for bilateral relations, says Netanyahu
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu met on Sunday in the first interaction between the premiers of the two countries in 11 years with the leader of the Jewish state saying that \"sky is the limit\" for bilateral relations.
New York: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu met on Sunday in the first interaction between the premiers of the two countries in 11 years with the leader of the Jewish state saying that "sky is the limit" for bilateral relations.
The meeting took place at New York's Palace Hotel on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly during which Modi and Netanyahu discussed a wide range of issues including defence cooperation and the situation created by the Islamic State (IS) in West Asia. Both the leaders are staying at the Palace Hotel.
During the 30-minute meeting, Netanyahu invited Modi to visit Israel at an early date. Netanyahu recalled that Modi had come to Israel in his earlier capacity as Chief Minister but he now hopes that he could visit as Prime Minister, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said. Modi had visited Israel in 2006.
The Spokesperson said Prime Minister Modi has taken note of the invitation and this would be discussed further through diplomatic channels. He said the two leaders discussed ways to enhance economic cooperation and Israel offered expertise in water management and other agricultural-related areas.
India and Israel have a very robust relationship and currently bilateral trade stands at approximately USD six billion.
"Apart from these, there were discussions on matters relating to how Israel perceives developments in the region, that is West Asia. Also, Israeli Prime Minister explained their views and vision on talks that are happening between Iran and P5 Plus 1," the Spokesperson said.
