Israel not only accepts United Nations technical assistance but, in a modest way, makes repayment by providing a number of experts to other countries and plays host to foreign technicians and students who study Israeli methods in a number of fields, Mordecai Kidron, deputy delegate of Israel at the UN, reported here.
Explaining the principles on which Israeli programs for using the technical assistance are based, Mr. Kidron said that the assistance must be integrated in the general economic planning of the country and is devoted to major projects of tested economic importance of a long-term nature.
In addition to UN experts coming to Israel to help, the UN program has provided scholarships and fellowships for about 100 young Israeli officials and executives who have travelled to foreign countries to study and observe modern techniques, Mr. Kidron reported.
