Israel’s Ambassador designate to Canada. Yaacov Herzog, arrived here today and was welcomed at the airport by representatives of the Canadian Secretary of State and the Governor General. On arrival here, Mr. Herzog declared:
“I deem it a great honor to have been appointed Israel Ambassador to this country. I have heard much of Canada’s remarkable internal development and growing contribution to world peace and international cooperation. The people of Israel feel that the successive governments of the Canadian people appreciate the theme of redemption which is the essence of Israel’s revival. In continuing the tradition of my distinguished predecessors, it will be my earnest endeavor to cement yet further the ties of friendship between the two peoples.”
