A host of key world leaders on Thursday wished Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Indian citizens on the country's Independence Day with Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu greeting them with a "namaste" in a video and hailing the deepening ties between the two countries.
"The relations between India and Israel are like never before. It's not merely cooperation, it's genuine friendship," said Netanyahu in a short video, posted to mark the occasion.
Responding to the greetings, Modi said, "My friend Bibi, as always, your wishes have touched all Indians. May India and Israel become even closer friends in the years to come."
Bhutanese Prime Minister Tshering tweeted he "sees new chapters of friendship unfold for the two countries."
