| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief, International Affairs: Mrs. Ambassador, allow me to congratulate you on the start of your mission in Russia. On October 18, you presented your credentials to President DA. Medvedev. If it is not a secret, what did you manage to tell him and what did he tell you during the brief minutes of your exchange.
Dorit Golender, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Israel to the Russian Federation: First of all, thank you for your congratulations. Naturally, the presentation of my credentials has been the most significant day since my arrival here. Generally, it is one of the most significant days in my life. The immense importance of this event can only be appreciated by a person who is present at this moment in the hall, at this ceremony, in this atmosphere. Naturally, as prescribed by the protocol, after the presentation of the credentials there was the shaking of hands and there were remarks, brief but very meaningful. After shaking my hand, Mr. President said that we will work together, and we will work well. I believe that what I heard at that moment is very important, especially for countries that are at the peak of their relations. |
