The Chinese Embassy in Israel recently hosted a 2020 Spring Festival reception in Tel Aviv. Dai Yuming, Charge d'Affaires of the Chinese Embassy, gave a speech, as did representatives from Chinese-funded enterprises and Chinese students. Hubei Wudang Martial Arts Troupe put on a performance for the audience afterward.

Dai briefly reviewed China's past development and the progress of China-Israel relations in 2019, including political mutual trust, bilateral trade, people-to-people exchanges and cultural communication. He looked forward to witnessing more impressive progress in 2020.
