IMPORTANCE
________________________________________________________________________For the first time in history of diplomatic relations between Ukraine and Israel, we are holding a gala-ceremony of awarding outstanding Israelis and Ukrainians who have made a significant contribution to the development of cooperation and partnership, as well as to improving friendly assistance, support and strengthening lasting relationships between our nations.
We have a large number of successfully implemented and newly launched projects in various fields for the last 30 years of friendship and cooperation. These are social, economic, trade, scientific, educational, technological, humanitarian and cultural projects. Still, there has never been a special event that would present the results of cooperation. We do not have such a day when we can honor people who strengthen international relationships, create changings and moved us closer to the future through their daily work. But everything has changed. The 30th anniversary of diplomatic relationships between Ukraine and Israel has become an essential starting point in creating such a project.
We have to know all the people who stand for positive changings, fast moving development and quality knowledge-sharing in various areas of interaction between our countries. Politicians, diplomats, entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, artists, public figures and volunteers. These are Ukrainians and Israelis, whose personal dream has become a lifework and serving others has become an example to many people.
