BEIJING, May 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on a five-day visit to China. He arrived in Shanghai on Monday, and has addressed Israeli and Chinese business leaders at a reception organized by the Israeli Consulate.
Netanyahu began his speech by thanking Shanghai for helping the Jewish people during World War Two.
"We had Jews fleeing for their lives in the great Nazi holocaust, and they found refuge in Shanghai. And we say thank you. We never forget our friends," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
The Prime Minister said the main focus of his trip is to promote trade. He visited the Caohejing High-Tech Park in southwestern Shanghai, and pledged increased economic cooperation with China.
"If we offer a marriage between Israeli technology and Chinese manufacturing and global marketing capabilities, we can have a winning combination," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu will leave Shanghai on Wednesday morning for Beijing, where he will hold talks with several Chinese high-ranking officials. The two sides are expected to sign a series of inter-governmental cooperation documents and commercial agreements on trade, science and technology.
