Israel signed ADS tourism agreement with China

In addition to meeting Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, Livni signed a document designating Israel an “approved destination” for Chinese tourists, and paving the way for a huge increase in tourism from China.

Group tourism packages from China are only possible to countries that have this designation, and Israel has been working on such an agreement with the Asian country for approximately two years.

The Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying it saw expanding tourism between the two countries as an “important factor in developing” strong ties between the two countries.

Israel Renovates Hongkou Elders’ Activity Center

On June 6, 2007 at 10:00, the Consulate General of Israel, in collaboration with the Hongkou District government and with the support of the Shanghai Charity Foundation, will inaugurate a newly renovated elderly activities-center in Huoshan Park, to honor the elderly residents of Hongkou district who helped to absorb Jewish refugees before and during WWII and lived with them side by side in this neighborhood.

 

 

This year the Consulate General of Israel decided to mark Israel’s 59th national day by – in some way - repaying the generation that absorbed Jewish refugees in Shanghai, instead of with a traditional national-day reception.  The Consulate believes it’s a more meaningful way that will both benefit the residents of the area and demonstrate the strong bond between the Jewish people, Israel and China.
