Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Maxim Akimov met in Jerusalem on Tuesday, according to an official press release from the Prime Minister’s office.

The senior Russian official arrived in Israel at a time of tension between the two countries, following the downing of a Russian plane in Syria in mid September.

Akimov and Netanyahu discussed collaboration on several fronts, including economy, medicine, the adoption process between Russia and Israel, as well as science and agriculture.

Netanyahu stressed the importance of the relations between the countries and the collaboration in face of the regional threats.

Akimov is also expected to meet representatives from the Israeli start-up scene in Jerusalem on Tuesday, ahead of the establishment of the Israel-Russia Chamber of Commerce.

The meeting at the Israel-Russia Business Forum 2018 presents a networking opportunity for men and women working in both Israeli and Russian hi-tech, and aims to strengthen connections between the countries in the fields of medical- and bio-technologies. The meeting will also seek to build research, development and trade partnerships.
