Israeli foreign minister talks up economic cooperation with Africa PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 10 September 2009
10 Sep 2009 (EARTHTIMES) - Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel was committed to boosting economic growth in Africa as he wound up a five-nation African tour in Uganda on Thursday. Lieberman, who also visited Ethiopia, Kenya, Angola and Nigeria, met Ugandan ministers and witnessed the signing of a water development agreement between an Israeli firm and Uganda's water minister.

 

"Today in Israel, 90 per cent of purified water is got from waste water and later used for agricultural development," he said. "This knowledge is very important to agricultural development in Africa."   Lieberman was expected to lay a wreath at Entebbe Airport, 42 kilometres south-east of Kampala, where an Israeli commando unit rescued over 100 mostly Jewish hostages on an Air France Flight seized by Palestinian terrorists in 1976.    The leader of the rescue mission, Lieutenant-Colonel Yonatan Netanyahu, who was brother to current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was shot during the operation.    The Israeli government has helped turn the terminal building at the airport into a memorial site.

HAVE YOUR SAY
