About 13 students from the Navuso Agriculture Technical Institute have been selected to travel to Israel in the coming weeks as part of an internship programme - ‘Learning by doing’.

This was revealed by the Israeli Ambassador designate to the Pacific countries, Roi Rosenblit during a courtesy visit to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Strategic Planning, National Development and Statistics, Professor Biman Prasad in Suva.

Rosenblit says these students will work in the agriculture sector for a period of about 10 months and earn salary.

He says they would work five days in a week and one day would be dedicated to learning about new agricultural technology.

The Israeli Ambassador also expressed his interest to assist the Government financially with operating the Embassy of Fiji in Israel, if the Government decides to open its Embassy in Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister, Professor Prasad says Jerusalem was the area of preference to establish an Embassy, however, this has to be further discussed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He also extended the coalition government’s interest to partner with Israel to build climate resilient infrastructure for agriculture.

Professor Prasad pointed out that Fiji's tourism industry can be fragile in times like the pandemic, so agriculture has been one of the main focus areas of Government's efforts to diversify its economy.
