Israeli PM praised PM Modi for extending friendship.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday inaugurated Raisina Dialogue 2018, themed on 'Managing Disruptive Transitions: Ideas, Institutions & Idioms', in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj and ORF Chairman Sunjoy Joshi were also part of the inaugural session of this annual geo-political event, organised by the Ministry of External Affairs and Observer Research Foundation (ORF).
Speaking at the session, Netanyahu said:"I believe the secret to Israel and India’s successes are the same thing; a combination of traditional values and innovation. What also binds us together, is the most important of all, that we have a special relationship with commitment to democracy. Our way of life is being challenged by radical Islam and extremists from a variety of sources. One of the ways to overcome such a challenge is to strengthen this relationship between two great democracies, in every area."
Israeli PM also said, " I want to thank Prime Minister Modi. You are the first leader of India to come to Israel in over 3000 years. I want to tell you that we believe in India as you believe in Israel. May God bless the India-Israel alliance".
The alliance of democracies is important to secure our common future, I believe possibilities are endless. In this visit, we have discussed how we can strengthen our two nations in civilian, security and in every area: Israel PM Netanyahu in Delhi pic.twitter.com/rGEMxMVrZW
