SOT, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister: “To seize the future we have made two decisions in this visit that I think can accelerate the seizing of these opportunities. The first is to immediately start working on the free trade agreement which will be ratified right after our elections in our parliament, but to expand it, to include investments, that means investment and services, there is another word for that. It is called high tech. The second is to develop, to open both in Kiev and in Jerusalem the high tech development offices.”
