Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, together with Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan and other government and business leaders have joined relatives of the late Israeli leader Shim'on Peres in dedicating the Peres Center for Innovation.
Netanyahu said, "The most important thing I can say about Shimon is that he had a great vision for the State of Israel. He said that if you have no fantasies, you won't do fantastic things. And that's right. But, of course, people who turn these fantasies into reality are also required. Israel is among the leading countries in the field of innovation."
