Tel Aviv [Israel], January 15 (ANI/TPS): Israel’s Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Avi Dichter met Tuesday with the Thai Minister of Labor, the Thai Ambassador to Israel, and a senior delegation from Thailand and discussed with them strengthening cooperation between the countries to promote bringing workers to Israel.
The Minister wishes to create a stable and continuous mechanism for bringing workers into agriculture and staffing the total number of permits, which stands at 70,000.
At the meeting the participants agreed to bring in another 13,000 workers from Thailand to work in Israeli agriculture.
