Dear Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin,
Following the United Coalition, it is my understanding that a member of my government has not visited the wonderful Russian Empire and I am contacting you today to change that. Israel is seeking to build upon its relationship with the Russian Empire which I have taken a keen eye upon under our previous contact before the United Coalition was formed after Minister of Defence Avigdor Lieberman made contact with Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Over 100,000 Israeli citizens live in Russia, with 80,000 Israelis living in Moscow, while hundreds of thousands of Russian citizens reside in Israel, from around 1.5 million native Russian-speaking Israelis. We would like to further our relationship to not only benefit the Jewish and Russian populations in each country but to benefit both of our countries as a whole.
I would like to visit Moscow upon a convenient date to see the wonderful Russian Empire in person to begin the process of furthering our relations.
Regards,
Naftali Bennett
Prime Minister of Israel
