在中华人民共和国成立60周年和中以建立外交关系17周年之际，两国政府决定在以色列共同举办“感知中国”系列活动，具有非常重要的意义。

　　“感知中国”活动将给以色列人民带去很多中国主题活动，比如表演，展览，电影，电视和讲座，给以色列人了解中国提供机会。我相信这次活动将加强中以两国之间的传统友谊，激发以色列人民了解中国的热情，以及激励中国人民更多的去了解以色列。

　　期待“感知中国”系列活动在以色列取得圆满的成功。

With the coming of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 17th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Israel, the governments of the two countries are jointly holding the "Experience China" series in Israel, which is very significant.

The "Experience China" event will bring many China-themed activities such as performances, exhibitions, movies, TV shows and lectures to the Israeli people, offering them a chance to learn about China. I believe this event will strengthen our traditional friendship, arousing Israeli people's interest in China as well as inspiring Chinese people's desire to know more about Israel.

I expect the "Experience China" series of events in Israel to be a complete success.
