Peres told Wang that the repertoire dance "Thousand-hand Bodhisattva" performed by 21 disabled Chinese relying on the assistance of two sign language conductors symbolized the spirit of the Chinese people and the power of unity.
A thousand hands can work like one, and can produce joint strength, which is the power of solidarity, Peres said after the performance.
Other activities like "China, Israel and World Economy Symposium" during the culture event let the intelligentsia among others further deepen their understanding about China, especially about China's choice of a path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and its model of development, said Wang.
Jointly held by China's State Council Information Office and the Israeli Foreign Ministry, the culture event is dedicated to celebrating 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 biggest ever culture exchange event between Israel and China also includes a film week, photo exhibitions and performances by the Beijing Modern Dance Company. It began on October 12 and will last till the end of this month.
Wang said the culture event provides a good chance, adding that it will help boost the political relations between Israel and China and "will sow the seed for further enhancing bilateral ties. "
"Seeing is believing," Wang said, noting that only through contacts, communication and exchanges, can the two nations know each other better, more comprehensively and authentically.
