Netanyahu calls for formal relations with Indonesia

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for formal relations between Israel and Indonesia to be established.

“It’s time for there to be official relations between Indonesia and Israel. We have many opportunities for bilateral cooperation, especially in the fields of water technology and high-tech,” he told a visiting delegation of Indonesian journalists on Monday.

“It’s time to change our relationship, because the reasons preventing it are no longer relevant,” he explained.

Netanyahu said that Israel has excellent relations with many Asian countries including China, Japan, India and Vietnam.
