India and Israel agreed to deepen defence ties as Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Benjamin Gantz met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and held bilateral talks with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi Thursday.
On his first official visit to India, Gantz told Modi, “We have a great opportunity to deepen defence cooperation between our countries and to build on our shared values in order to contribute to global stability.”
He said India is an “industrial superpower and Israel is a technological superpower — cooperation between our countries will expand the capabilities of both countries to contend with developing challenges.”
