The Israeli private sector is willing to invest in Senegal, a country seen in the Jewish state as a key island of stability in Africa West, revealed Friday the ambassador of Israel in Dakar, Paul Hirschson.
- Hirschson who is about to leave Senegal at the end of a three-year mission, indicated that the agencies of his country in charge of these issues are ready to accompany Israeli businessmen in this direction.
The diplomat pointed out that Senegal enjoys a positive reputation in Israel for its stability. '' Everyone told me that it is an island of stability and that it is a key to stability in the region, and we must keep it '', argued Paul Hirschson for whom it is necessary to work in such a way that this stability is a stain
Even though both countries can and must to do better, the level of their economic relations can not be described as weak, said the diplomat. There is today a diversification, noted Mr. Hirschson, who points out, for example, the beginning of Senegalese fish exports to the Israeli market. Five tons are thus sent to Israel each week, and the fish is consumed 48 hours after landing in Dakar.
While it is clear that it is difficult to obtain statistics on this plan, the fact remains that many Israeli products arrive in Senegal, via countries such as France, where Israeli companies export.
The diplomat spoke about the telecommunications sector where Israeli technologies are widely used, joint ventures, investments as areas illustrating these exchanges and cooperation with Tel Aviv, of which one of the 11 diplomatic representations in Africa is in Dakar.
Economic relations being the only sector where it is '' always win-win '', he called for their reinforcement and to make them the pillar of the links between the two countries.
In this perspective, he suggested to Senegal to open a economic office in his country. (APS)
