JERUSALEM, May 6 (Xinhua) -- With the further deepening of cooperation on roads, rails and infrastructures between Israel and China, Israel hopes that more Chinese enterprises can come to take part in new projects here, Israel Katz, Minister of Transport, National Infrastructures and Road Safety, said here recently.
Katz made the remarks while meeting a delegation of journalists from China. Stressing that China is a very important country for Israel, Katz believes that the two countries have ample space for further cooperation.
