 H.E. Moshe Sermoneta, Israel’s new
Ambassador to Dominica presents
credentials to His Excellency, the President,
Dr. Nicholas J. O. Liverpool
His Excellency. Moshe Sermoneta is Israel’s new Ambassador to Dominica. The Ambassador presented his letters of credentials to Dominica’s Head of State, His Excellency Dr Nicholas Liverpool, on Wednesday, August 10, 2011.
“Throughout the years, Dominica and Israel have maintained friendly relations that were reflected principally in Israel’s commitment to the development of Dominica. This was done through technical assistance extended either directly by the Centre of International Cooperation of the Israeli Foreign Ministry or in cooperation with CARICOM and the OAS’s Young Americas Youth Business Trust (YABT). As recently was last month, for example, Israeli experts participated in a YABT Rural Tourism Business Lab that took place here in Dominica. In the same vein, we are now coordinating a visit of an agricultural expert to the country with a view to expanding our development assistance activity on the ground in accordance with the priorities of the Government of Dominica.”
President of Dominica H.E. Dr Nicholas Liverpool welcomed the new ambassador to Dominica.
He is confident that there will be continued cordial relations between Dominica and Israel
“I have no doubt that you will continue the work of your predecessors in strengthening the bonds of friendship and cooperation which already exist between our two countries and will explore new and better means to improve and deepen bilateral cooperation as we strive for the development of our people.
Dominica has not been able to take full advantage of the numerous training courses offered by your country because of the high cost of air travel. It is Dominica’s wish to discuss with your country the possibility of fully funding a few of the courses, in order to encourage broader participation, and also to explore opportunities in areas such as energy, food security, health and education, which could form part of a technical cooperation agreement between our two countries.
Our cooperation with your country in the regional and international arena can be counted upon and we look forward to providing continued support for the candidacy of the State of Israel on various international bodies in appropriate circumstances.”
The Israeli Ambassador also met with Hon Acting Prime Minister Rayburn Blackmoore |
