The Israel pavilion at this year’s Rand Easter show, South Africa’s largest trade fair, has been awarded a gold medal for the second year in succession, Israel’s Consul General Yaacov Doron announced today at a reception at the pavilion.
Israel’s exports to South Africa last year exceeded $1, 863, 000, more than double the previous year’s exports totaling $792,000, Mr. Doron reported. Chief Rabbi Louis I. Rabinowitz expressed the hope that trade between Israel and South Africa would increase now that South Africa was leaving the British Commonwealth.
