Israel and China increase cooperation
A major Israel-China conference was held by the Israeli Foreign Ministry this week. Subjects discussed were increased inter-governmental cooperation, and mutual relaxing of visa restrictions.
Israeli citizens can now obtain a 10-year visa to China, joining a select group of nations with this privilege, which only includes the US and Canada. Chinese citizens will be entitled to obtain a parallel visa to visit Israel, as Ynet said.
Until recently, Israeli tourists and businesspeople who wanted to travel to China were required to obtain a onetime-use visa which only lasted the length of the visitor's stay in the country. This new visa agreement is expected to facilitate travel between China and Israel, encourage Chinese tourists to visit Israel, and save time and money. The agreement will be signed by the Vice Premier of China Liu Yandong and Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
70 thousand Israelis visit China every year, compared to 33 thousand Chinese who visit Israel.
"This visa agreement is very important, especially since next month Hainan airlines will begin flying directly from China to Israel," Hagai Shagrir, head of the North East Asian division of the Foreign Ministry said.
