Jerusalem, March 10, 1998
Foreign Embassies invited to participate in Jubilee Representatives from 60 foreign embassies in Israel participated yesterday (Monday) 9.3.98, at a meeting at the Foreign Ministry where they were invited to participate in a jubilee exhibit celebrating Israel's 50th anniversary to be held at the Tel Aviv Exhibition Grounds.
The Foreign Ministry will present an exhibition of Israel's foreign relations, the peace process and developing relations with the Arab world, as part of Israel's 50th anniversary relations. Part of the exhibition will consist of "national days" of various countries, where foreign embassies will present folklore and cultural shows.
Foreign embassies in Israel are showing great interest in the jubilee exhibition, which is expected to draw 40,000 visitors daily, because of the opportunity to show their countries to the Israeli public. An impressive collage of events and shows is therefore expected which will add an international flavor to the jubilee exhibit. The "national days" plans and participating countries will be consolidated in April.
