Russia's Prime Minister to Visit Israel in Bid to Bolster Ties
Announcement of Dmitry Medvedev's November 10 visit made in honor of 25th anniversary of restoration of diplomatic relations between Israel and Russia.
The embassy statement noted that diplomatic dialogue between the two countries had intensified this year, as reflected in a series of meetings between senior officials, President Reuven Rivlin’s visit to Moscow, two visits to Moscow by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and five telephone conversations between Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Over the years, our two countries and our two peoples have managed to end the regrettable period of mutual distance and become real partners who understand and know how to respect each other’s interests,” the statement said.
A main reason why Israeli-Russian relations have grown closer over the last year is the entry of Russian forces into Syria’s civil war. The two countries established a mechanism for military coordination to prevent incidents between their air forces and navies, and talks on this issue take place at the highest levels.
