Ambassador of the State of Israel in Bucharest, David Saranga, was awarded on Wednesday evening as 'Ambassador of the Year' at the Capital Awards Gala - Heroes of 2019; the diplomat said on this occasion that Romania holds a special place in his heart, and Israel is a true friend of Romania.
"I arrived here, in Romania, a year ago and I am just at the beginning. Romania holds an important place in my heart. It is here that I started my diplomatic career, 20 years ago, as Israel's deputy ambassador. And there's a saying that you can remove someone from Romania, but it's very hard to get Romania out of somebody's heart. This also happened to me. And I was very happy when I returned to Romania a year ago," said the Israeli diplomat.
He emphasized that the State of Israel is a true friend of Romania.
"I am here not only on my own behalf. I am here also on behalf of the State of Israel, a true friend of Romania. Many people ask me what the success of Israel is. And I always say it's the human capital and the Jewish thought, but there is yet another reason: we also have Romanian DNA. Many of the Romanian Jews who came from Romania have built our country, I therefore thank you too," said David Saranga.
