Abbe Youlou, the President of the Congo Republic, recently visited Israel and returned with a strong ambition to establish collectives along the lines of the Israeli kibbutzim. He received a promise of 20 scholarships for study in Israel by young Congolese and that two Israel experts in economic development would be sent to his country. The two experts are expected to arrive in Brazzaville, the country’s capital, soon, to help in planning its economic development.
