Since 1999, China has held the event of "Experience China" in many countries including Germany, the United States, Russia and South Korea to promote cultural exchanges. These events have been well received by overseas governments, news media and the general public.
"Experience China in Israel" event, jointly held by China's State Council Information Office and Israeli Foreign Ministry, is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 17th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Composed of a series of activities including performances, picture exhibitions, a film week and a symposium on China, Israel and the world economy, the event, which formally kicked off Saturday evening in Tel Aviv Opera House, is expected to allow Israelis to see Chinese culture and China's developments and achievements over the past six decades and promote Sino-Israeli friendship.
