Prime Minister Jacques Santer declared that Luxembourg would not hesitate to intervene in the European Economic Community (EEC) for the edification of relations between the EEC and Israel. He also reaffirmed the necessity of guaranteeing Israel’s security permanently.
Santer made these statements Tuesday at a government dinner for Israel President Chaim Herzog, who was in Luxembourg with his wife, Ora, on an official two day visit, after which he left for Strasbourg and Brussels.
At the dinner, the Prime Minister also praised the natural and sincere friendly relations between Luxembourg and Israel, and called attention to his own personal relationship with Herzog. Earlier in the visit, Herzog met with Santer and with Foreign Affairs Minister Jacques Poos, to discuss bilateral relations between the two countries and between Israel and the EEC, and the Mideast.
