President Isaac Herzog and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping exchange letters congratulating one another on the anniversary of the 30th year of official ties between Jerusalem and Beijing.
A similar exchange takes place between Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Chinese premier Li Keqiang.
“Since the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Israel, the friendship between the two peoples has been deepened day by day and bilateral relations have made significant progress,” Xi writes to Herzog according to the Chinese readout.
“The exchanges between the two countries have become increasingly close and bilateral relations have been constantly deepened,” Herzog replies, per the Chinese readout.
Li tells Bennett, “China and Israel have carried out fruitful innovation cooperation and achieved win-win outcomes.”
“I’m convinced that Israel-China cooperation will continue to deepen in the future to create more benefits for the two peoples,” Bennett replies.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
