I sincerely congratulate all Israeli citizens on the 71st anniversary of the proclamation of the independence of the State of Israel.

The State of Israel had a long and difficult path to national implementation of the millennial dream of the Jewish people - the creation of an independent sovereign state.

Ukrainian and Jewish peoples combine a common historical and cultural heritage. Ukraine and Israel have long-standing ties, and Ukrainian-Israeli relations are distinguished by the dynamic development and expansion of mutually beneficial cooperation.

On this Day, I want to wish our countries prosperity and new perspective achievements aimed at strengthening Ukrainian-Israeli friendship.

I sincerely congratulate the Jewish people on Independence Day and wish peace, well-being and prosperity!

Sincerely,

Ambassador Hennadii Nadolenko
