Wednesday, 24 July 2019, Dresden, Free State of Saxony: Saxony’s Premier Michael Kretschmer received the Israeli Ambassador to Germany, Jeremy Issacharoff for a courtesy call at the State Chancery.
One of the topics of discussion was Saxony’s participation in the “New Kibbutz” scholarship programme. Within the programme’s framework, students can be sent to Israeli companies as interns and supported.
According to the press statement below, Premier Michael Kretschmer said: “Saxony and Israel are linked by friendly and diverse relationships in business, science and culture. With Saxony’s participation in the New Kibbutz scholarship programme, we are promoting the exchange of young people. They get the chance to get to know Israel’s culture of innovation and its unique cultural life and to make new connections. Israel has developed into a modern business location and a centre for start-ups and high-tech companies. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable experience and bring it to Saxony”.
Immediately afterwards, Premier Kretschmer and Ambassador Issacharoff met with students from the Leipzig region who are organised in the Young Forum of the German-Israeli Society Leipzig.
Ambassador Jeremy Issacharoff‘s service in Germany began on 29 August 2017.
