Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just spoke over the phone with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement.

“At the end of the warm and friendly conversation, the two leaders agreed to meet very soon,” the PMO adds.

The two leaders have held several phone calls in recent months. Netanyahu mentioned earlier this week that he planned to meet soon with his Indian counterpart, without elaborating on the location or timing. New Delhi has yet to officially comment on any arrangement.
