A first group of trainees from Morocco arrived in Israel, on the initiative of the Foreign Ministry. Deputy Foreign Minister Nawaf Massalha will meet with them this afternoon (September 19) in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

This is the first group to arrive from Morocco for a professional training course, on the subject of Cooperative Management, organized by Mashav (the Center for International Cooperation) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

Up until now, only individual Moroccan trainees from the government and non-government sectors have studied in Israel.
