President Reuven Rivlin meets with Canadian Foreign Minister Robert Douglas Nicholson in Jerusalem, and calls him “a dear friend of Israel.”
“I am delighted to host you here on your first visit to Israel. I know you are dedicated to your work but I hope you have time to see our wonderful country and beautiful capital city of Jerusalem. You are a dear friend of Israel, and we listen to your comments with respect, even when we disagree,” Rivlin tells Nicholson.
Nicholson thanks the president for his warm welcome and says Israel is a “beacon of light, hope, a source of democracy, and an example to the whole world, and I am proud of Canada’s steadfast and consistent support for Israel.”
The challenges Israel faces are “on everybody’s doorstep,” says Nicholson, “even though we are far from here.”
