Arad was accompanied by a delegation comprising experts on counter-terror measures on the visit, which was kept under wraps for obvious reasons.
Some of the "key issues" discussed included Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, Iran and the threat to Israel nationals in India......
Arad, who is also the chairman of the Israeli National Security Council, spoke about the threat of Pakistan's nuclear weapons falling into the hands of jehadi forces.
