Yaffa welcomed the delegation led by Xu, expecting to develop cooperation with such a world power as China. As a platform, Tnuva can build a bridge to promote Sino-Israeli cooperation in fields such as agriculture, food and technology, she added.

Xu hailed Israel as an innovative country, adding that Shanghai has huge opportunities of cooperation with Israel in a wide range of fields as a frontier economic city in China. Subsequently, the accompanying key leaders of Shanghai's commissions and offices voiced their ideas of cooperating with Israel from fields in their charge. The atmosphere was warm.

At last, Lyu introduced Bright Food's development strategy and the prospect of its cooperation with Tnuva.
