Modi first addressed the visitor as "my friend, Bibi" and Netanyahu reciprocated with "My friend, Narendra" while reminiscing about them wading barefoot into the Mediterranean Sea last July. "And while we continue to talk to each other, our relationship is not determined by this single issue." The joint statement talks about nine R&D projects in the area of big data analytics in health care and security in cyber space.

There is a Bollywood outreach -- Shalom Bollywood -- that has been lined by the Israeli mission for the Netanyahu couple in Mumbai in the last leg of their visit.
