Israel and Czechoslovakia have established direct trade connections.
They are doing business valued at about $11 million annually through a trading company acquired for the purpose by the Czech government.
Until recently, trade between Israel and Czechoslovakia had been conducted through a third country. There are still no diplomatic relations, which the Czechs broke in 1967.
