President Reuven Rivlin and his wife Nehama held a dinner in honor of OECD Secretary-General Ángel Gurría and his wife, in commemoration of five years since Israel joined the organization.

At the beginning of the meal, Rivlin and Gurría gave speeches. "We see in the OECD a leading organization and significant driving social and economic force," said Rivlin. "The OECD even helps us identity and test our possible moves, including the challenges arrayed before us."
