Netanyahu in China: Bibi targets commercial and tech co-operation
Israel's prime minister seeks to boost co-operation, as he leads a large business delegation to the country
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told China’s premier that he wants to boost the two countries’ co-operation over advanced technology.
Mr Netanyahu is leading a large business delegation to promote commercial ties between Israel and the Asian giant.
He said before a meeting with Chinese premier Li Keqiang in Beijing that Israel and China could explore “many ways of technological co-operation, which I think sees the future”.
He also said he would like to discuss the “great convulsion in the world”, including in the Middle East.
Earlier, Mr Netanyahu told a meeting of Israeli and Chinese business leaders that Israel is well positioned to help China upgrade its products, services and utilities with better technology.
He said: “I believe this is a marriage made in heaven.”
