Tel Aviv University will host a delegation of Chinese business executives to participate in a special development program conducted by the LAHAV executive education program. The delegation of about 1,000 senior executives and entrepreneurs will come from the city of Nanjing, capital of the Jiangsu province in China.

The university plans to hold “Nanjing Day” on its campus in honor of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the People’s Republic of China and Israel 20 years ago. The delegates will meet with academic officials and Israeli President Shimon Peres.

“The program of studies for senior officials and leading entrepreneurs from the city of Nanjing, the first of its kind at Tel Aviv University, opens opportunities for important academic, scientific and research activities,” said Prof. Joseph Klafter, president of Tel Aviv University, according to Globes.
