{Israel will, in the future, expand its cooperation with Rwanda in many other sectors including strengthening cultural and social ties with Rwandan citizens, [{{IGIHE}}->www.igihe.com] reports.}
Last month during an exclusive Interview with IGIHE, Mr. Leo Vinovezky, Israeli Deputy Ambassador to Rwanda, Burundi and Ethiopia has told this website’s reporter that his country will expand its cooperation not only in business sector but also in culture.
“I would like to share that with you as well and of course in the future we can establish cooperation in the culture arena which is to strengthen the links between the two peoples.” Mr. Leo Vinovezky said.
He said Rwanda and Israel are friends not only because of specific interests but that the two countries share a common vision and a common approach.
“We are two peoples that had suffered a lot and from this suffering we are trying to recover, we are trying to rebuild our nations and our peoples which is a very difficult task. But you are doing well, we are doing well and beyond that of course we found common interest in the international arena consolidating this friendship.
“…..that’s why I am here also to promote culture, Israel music, Israeli literature that has been translated into French and English as well we would like to screen documentary films from Israel made by Israel Filmmakers telling specific stories. So we are very similar in a way. “ Vinovezky said.
According to Mr. Leo Vinovezky “It could sound a paradox or controversy to invest because when people talk about investment they necessarily think about business, about doing money, which is fine and legitimate.”
However, he thinks, it is great to invest in other things.
“I mean countries like Rwanda or like Israel could benefit from investment in those social areas which we need to improve and promote which is for the future generations. In Israeli we have the concept of “Matnas” (culture, social and sport centre). Every neighborhood has a Matnas in which you will see that the young kids and teenagers have all the facilities to develop their imagination, their creativity, their leadership skills, they are involved in positive things. Also important are the Youth Movements based on human values.” Explains Leo Vinovezky.
