Discussions with the Minister also focused on providing training programmes as well as organising visits of experts and holding zoom conferences in the agriculture sector, he highlighted.
During the past two years, said Mr Belotsercovsky, 47 experts from Mauritius have been trained by Israel on short programmes and we would like to increase the number of Mauritian experts trained in Israel. There is a lot of work to be achieved and we are going to accomplish it, he affirmed.
