We are flying in flight CA117 from Beijing landing 21:05.I still have to check with Ahuva if someone can meet us in the airport.The day after we will have a bus for the entire day, it looks like we will need it? and also as I wrote yesterday the hotel conference room, If we will not need the room I will be happy to cancel it and save some money for Mabal.(it looks like only for the meeting with Ahuva it will be needed)At around 1800 2 guys which one of them is flying back to Israel in 21:00 will leave us, the rest are staying for the weekend and will join to the dinner.Regarding Ester Perets, I will check it and will give you an answer soon. I believe meeting her can be beneficial but I am not sure if during lunch time will be OK for it.Tomorrow I am presenting the plan to the MG Itai Virob.HEAD OF MABAL who is also arriving with us for the visit. If we will have any more questions I will update you.Thanks again for your great helpGuyבתאריך יום ג׳, 16 באפר׳ 2019 ב-14:18 מאת Chairman's Desk - Israeli Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong <rafaelco@netvigator.com>:Dear Guy

It fell upon me to be part of another group that will travel to Russia. I wonder if it will be OK by you to continue the contact with Colonel Guy Levi who is the focal point and coordinator of the visit to China. If so I'll give him your details. If, on the other hand and for some reason, you prefer to maintain our channel, please do not hesitate to indicate it and we'll act accordingly.Enjoy the weekendRafiבתאריך יום ה׳, 28 במרץ 2019 ב-14:24 מאת Chairman's Desk - Israeli Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong <rafaelco@netvigator.com>:Dear RaphaelI hope all is well on your side.I received the information I asked for.
