Netanyahu to visit India soon

November 11, 2015 13:31

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he would "soon" head to India, in a visit that will make him the second Israeli premier to travel to the country.

In 2003, then Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon visited India.

During his visit to Israel last month, President Pranab Mukherjee had invited Netanyahu to India.

Netanyahu's reference to his proposed India visit came while answering a question at the Centre for American Progress about his plans for Israel.

"There are three things other countries want from Israel... first, Israeli technology, second, Israeli technology and third, Israeli technology. Whether it is India, which I will be soon going to visit, or any other country," Netanyahu said.

He said he plans to make Israel a technological powerhouse.

Netanyahu said Israel has the capacity to shape the future. Countries across the globe are interested in seeking Israeli technology, he said.
