The opening of the Shapiro Silverberg Central Europe Office in Warsaw in March 2017 afforded AJC the opportunity to strengthen its friendship with Slovakia and its people.
A delegation of influential U.S.-based Latino clergy is visiting Israel with AJC Project Interchange and will learn about Israel’s experiences absorbing and integrating immigrants from around the world, the Israeli-Palestinian relationship, religious communities in Israel, Israel’s political landscape, and national security.
José Manuel Restrepo, Project Interchange alumnus and Colombia’s Minister of
Commerce, Industry and Tourism wrote in El Espectador about Israel’s success in innovation and nation-building, and lessons that can be learned by Colombia.
The European Union has often condemned Israel in one-sided statements that favor the Palestinians, ignoring the context of Israeli actions and without condemning Palestinian terror attacks on Israel.
Through the Warsaw-based Shapiro Silverberg Central Europe Office and Brussels-based Transatlantic Institute, AJC is in regular contact with Latvian officials and diplomats.
