The 18 African ambassadors currently stationed in Israel met this week to discuss the ways to expand collaboration between the Jewish state and African nations by combining Israeli technological innovation in education, health and food security to the human capital, culture and resources of Africa.

Mitrelli Group founder and president, Haim Taib told the ambassadors, "The relationship between Israel and Africa is strategic with the potential for mutual growth. I have been committed to Africa for 30 years, the world has yet to recognize the continent's potential as a global growth engine. Africa is the future. Cooperation in energy, the environment and food security can bring about the solutions the world needs today."
