Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with a delegation of Chinese Hebrew and Arabic students.

 

This was part of a project initiated by the Union of Local Authorities Foreign Liaison Department to mark 20 years of friendly relations between Israel and China.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said, “Welcome to Jerusalem. I know that the world is changing in China and Israel. China is growing and developing and Israel is growing and developing, and becoming a giant center for high-tech, science and agriculture; therefore, we must increase bilateral cooperation in all areas.”

Union of Local Authorities Chairman Shlomo Bohbot said, “We ascribe great importance to strengthening ties between Israel and China. I thank the Prime Minister for welcoming us to his office.”
