New Delhi, Jan 14 (IBNS): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Sunday met visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu here.

As per MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar, the two leaders shared 'warm and engaging conversation' on various aspects of bilateral ties between the nations.

"EAM @SushmaSwaraj called on @IsraeliPM Benjamin Netanyahu. Warm and engaging conversation on various aspects of our bilateral ties aimed at strengthening our strategic partnership. #ShalomNamaste," Kumar tweeted.

Benjamin Netanyahu reached India earlier in the day.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself visited the airport to welcome the Israeli PM to India.

Netanyahu is on a 6-day visit to India.

He is the second Prime Minister from his country after Ariel Sharon to visit India in the last 25 years of a diplomatic relationship.

The Israeli PM is accompanied by a 130-member delegation from various sectors including cyber, agriculture and defence.

On Monday, Netanyahu will be given a ceremonial reception at the Rashtrapati Bhawan which will be followed by the wreath laying at the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi.

He will also meet his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi and hold delegation level talks.

Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani had told reporters that Netanyahu will hold a roadshow with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad on Jan 17.

The two PMs will hold the roadshow for 8 kms. Both the leaders are likely to visit Sabarmati Ashram, abode of Mahatma Gandhi.

Both Modi and  Netanyahu will visit two centres of excellency in Ahmedabad and inaugurate one.

In July last year, Modi visited Israel as the first Indian Prime Minister since the establishment of bilateral ties in 1992.
