Foreign Minister Eli Cohen of Israel held a fruitful meeting today with the President of Liberia, George Wah, and the Liberian Foreign Minister, Dee Maxwell Kemayah, in Jerusalem. The primary focus of the discussions was to strengthen the bond and boost economic cooperation between the two nations in the fields of energy, agriculture, and water.
During the meeting, the Liberian officials expressed their desire to establish a Liberian embassy in Israel, emphasizing their commitment to further enhancing diplomatic ties. This announcement was welcomed by Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, who reiterated his support for the Liberian government’s decision.
Minister Cohen pointed out that Liberia has emerged as one of Israel’s closest allies on the African continent. He expressed gratitude to President George Wah for Liberia’s unwavering support for Israel in international institutions. Both leaders agreed to collaborate closely to deepen economic cooperation, leveraging Israel’s expertise in the fields of energy, agriculture, and water. This collaboration will include the exchange of knowledge and experiences, as well as the facilitation of commercial delegations between the two nations.
The establishment of a Liberian embassy in Israel is expected to make a significant contribution to strengthening bilateral relations. It will serve as a platform for further cooperation in various areas, including trade, investment, and cultural exchanges.
This positive development comes as Israel continues to expand its diplomatic reach and forge new alliances across the globe. Israel has been actively pursuing diplomatic relations, particularly in Africa, in recent years, seeking opportunities for cooperation and collaboration with nations that share common values and interests.
Both Liberia and Israel have a rich history and face similar challenges in areas such as agriculture and water management. By leveraging Israel’s advanced technologies and expertise, Liberia can greatly benefit and further develop its own infrastructure and capabilities.
