As a part of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Israel, the exhibition enables the audience to know better the past and present of the two ancient cities, and serves as a window for more Chinese and Israeli friends to deepen their understanding of the ancient culture and history of the two countries, said Cai.

Recalling his visit to Nanjing seven years ago, Akko Mayor Shimon Lankri said the eastern China city has left him with a deep impression. He also expressed his hope that the exhibition could promote cooperation between Akko and more Chinese cities in various fields.
