India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi says Israel and India agree there is “no place for terrorism in the world,” as he wraps up a two-day visit aimed at strengthening ties with Israel.
The trip, which has drawn criticism at home, marks Modi’s second visit to Israel as prime minister since he took office in 2014.
“India and Israel are clear that there is no place for terrorism in the world, in any form… We will oppose it shoulder to shoulder. We will always oppose it in the future,” Modi says at a press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.
“Humanity must never become a victim of conflict,” he adds.
Modi also speaks of future cooperation between Israel and India in a variety of fields, including technology and energy.
Netanyahu, who describes Modi’s visit as “amazing” and “extraordinarily productive,” also speaks of joint innovation between the two countries.
“We’re proud ancient civilizations, very proud of our past. But absolutely determined to seize the future, and we can do it better together,” he adds.
