A new institute to promote Sino-Israeli ties

 

To further strengthen bilateral ties in culture and economy, the first Forum of Sino-Israeli Cultural and Economic Cooperation was held in Beijing, in July.

Government officials and scholars of the two countries attended the forum. The China Institute of Jewish Culture and Economy was organised by China’s University of International Business and Economy.

Robert J. Aumann, professor of Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Nobel laureate in economics, and David Rotem, chairman of Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee of Israel, sent congratulatory letters to the institute.

The institute’s establishment comes at the time when the two countries are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sino-Israeli diplomatic ties. In the seminar, noted Chinese experts on Israel exchanged their own perspectives on Sino-Israeli cooperation in various fields including culture, business, technology, security and strategy.
