The Israel Minister to Argentina, Yaacov Tsur, today signed the deed for a building here which will serve as the Israel-Argentine Cultural Institute, the first organization of its type designed to promote cultural interchanges between Israel and another country.
The institute will be opened officially on the 27th of this month when Israel Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett returns to Argentina from a visit to other Latin Americans states. The institute will be headed by Mordecai Avida, Israel’s first cultural attach? here, who has been in Buenos Aires for two months.
