Earlier, Gantz was accorded a tri-service guard of honour ceremonyin New Delhi's South Block lawns.
Gantz also visitied the National War Memorial, a monument built in memory of slain soldiers, where he laid a wreath in front of the eternal flame burning in their memory.
The bilateral meeting was attended by army officials and other dignitaries from both the nations besides Singh and Gantz.
"Discussed key issues pertaining to defence cooperation and global & regional scenarios during the bilateral meeting. We place great value on our Strategic Partnership with Israel," tweeted Singh after the meeting.
