Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday spoke to his Israeli counterpart Naftali Bennett over phone and discussed the situation in Ukraine and other geo-political developments. Bennett was to visit India last month, but the tour was postponed after he contracted Covid-19.
“Prime Minister conveyed his best wishes to H.E. Bennett for early recovery after his COVID-19 diagnosis. He also expressed his condolences for the loss of lives in the recent terrorist attacks in Israel,” the PMO said in a statement.
It said the two leaders discussed in detail the recent geo-political developments, including the situation in Ukraine and also reviewed the ongoing bilateral cooperation initiatives.
“Prime Minister conveyed his eagerness to welcome H.E. Bennett in India at an early date,” the PMO said.
Later Modi took to Twitter confirming his telephonic conversation with the Israeli PM.
"Was happy to speak with PM @naftalibennett and to know that he is recovering well. We discussed recent global events, and also reviewed India-Israel cooperation in various areas. I look forward to welcoming him in India very soon to continue our discussions," he said.
Replying to him, the Israeli prime minister said, "It was great speaking to you my friend, @NarendraModi. I look forward to seeing you soon!"
