&quot;Israel is among the leading nations in the field of innovation, water and agriculture,&quot; said PM Modi at the joint statement the two leaders made.&nbsp;

The two countries also agreed to work together on combating terror.&nbsp;

&quot;We are being challenged by forces of terror. We have agreed to cooperate in this area,&quot; said PM Netanyahu

&quot;India has suffered first-hand the violence and hatred spread by terror, so has Israel,&quot; said PM Modi

&quot;The bonhomie that has been a feature of this visit continued.&nbsp;

&quot;This is a marriage made in heaven but we are implementing it here on earth,&quot; said PM Netanyahu &nbsp;

&quot;This is a deeply moving moment for me. We are making history,&quot; he added.&nbsp;

Modi took on the tone of a global statesman.&nbsp;

&quot;Our talks focused on not just areas of bilateral opportunities but also how our cooperation can help cause of global peace and stability,&quot; Modi said.&nbsp;

At a ministry of external affairs media briefing after the joint statement, Indian foreign secretary S Jaishankar said Israel -- with its expertise in water management, agriculture, and innovation -- was the perfect country for India to partner with.&nbsp;

The Israelis, he said, were not only very good at developing new products but also at taking them to market.&nbsp;

Explaining the lack of defence deals -- India is one of the largest buyers of defence equipment from Israel -- Jaishankar said many of those are signed between companies, rather than between countries.&nbsp;
