"It is no wonder this friendship between India and Israel and between two countries is so strong, already amazing," the Israeli President said.
"I believe that together we can do even more to make in India and Make with India. We can make between future for next generation and we can bring magic to the world," he said.
The Israeli President who arrived on November 14 on an eight-day visit to the country said India taught Israel that food security was the greater challenge today.
"We always have been concerned about security and home land security but India taught us is that the greater challenge in today's world is food security.
"And this is why we are here today. ...We both know building a home means being able to provide food for your family and building a nation means to being able to produce and provide food for all, now and next generation. It is about taking care your home and your people," he said.
"Food security is not only about surviving and it is about feeding," he said.

"Few days ago, I visited Karnal where India and Israel is developing a new kind of cherry tomatoes which are Israeli invention...they are doing magic together.
"When Indian experts and Israeli experts place solar panels on the roof of trucks so that solar energy will keep the food inside the truck fresh and prevent food waste, they are doing magic together."
Where Israeli companies and Indian farmers create professional and financial network to help farmers, they are doing magic together, said the President.
