Narendra Modi becomes the first Indian prime minister to visit Israel on Tuesday, Z News reports.

As noted the visit is the result of growing ties that have led to billions of dollars in defence deals.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the visit, which marks 25 years since the two countries established diplomatic relations, a "further expression of the state of Israel`s military, economic and diplomatic strength."

"This is a very significant step in strengthening relations between the two countries," the Israeli leader said.

"India is a huge country with over 1.25 billion people and is one of the world`s largest, growing economies. Ties between Israel and India are on a constant upswing."
