China Cultural Center Opens in Israel
The first China Cultural Center in West Asia opened in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv on November 26， aiming to spread Chinese culture and facilitate exchange and cooperation between the two countries.
China’s Vice Culture Minister Zhang Xu said at the opening ceremony that the relationship between the two peoples determines the direction of ties between their countries. The establishment of the Chinese cultural center in Tel Aviv marks a new phase in both cultural and people-to-people exchanges between China and Israel， which is also an important achievement grown from their friendly cooperation since the establishment of diplomatic ties 25 years ago.

The center， also the 35th of its kind worldwide， sits in Tel Aviv’s business district， and covers a total area of about 1，000 square meters. It is designed to host events such as art performances， cultural exhibitions， academic seminars， and other activities to allow Israelis to gain a better understanding of the Chinese culture.
