Prime Minister Narendra Modi just finished his big trip to Israel on Thursday. He said both countries will soon sign a new Free Trade Agreement. This deal will help many businesses and workers in India and Israel. He also discussed a new partnership in critical and emerging technologies.

It was a very busy visit for the Indian leader.
During the trip, the two countries signed twenty-seven different agreements. These deals cover things like culture and manufacturing and high-tech tools. Modi visited Israel for the first time in nine years. His last trip there was back in 2017. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara went to the airport to say goodbye to Modi. It was a very friendly moment for the two world leaders. Netanyahu said the visit was short but it was very useful for both sides.
The two leaders also decided to hold a big government meeting in India very soon. Netanyahu wants to bring his ministers to India for more talks.
