Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will take 130 businessmen with him to India next week for trade talks which will also cover defence sales, a senior Israeli official said Wednesday.
Foreign ministry deputy director general for Asia, Gilad Cohen, said the six-day trip starting Sunday was meant to further deepen political, trade and cultural ties.
India's defence ministry announced last week that it would buy 131 surface-to-air missiles from Israel.
The Barak missiles made by Rafael Advanced Defence Systems are to be used for India's first aircraft carrier which is under construction.
