Minister for Forests and Environment Prem Bahadur Ale and Israel's ambassador to Nepal Hanan Goder held talks on the topic of assistance in the agriculture and forest development sector of Nepal.

During the meeting held at the Ministry today, Minister Ale urged Israel to provide support for the significant forest development, establishing a herbal centre and to teach Nepali farmers about Israeli forestry and agriculture technology.

"Israel has provided notable assistance to Nepal's agriculture sector. I urge it to extend support in the forest development sector as well," he said. Noting that the two countries have been cooperating and collaborating for a long time in various sectors including agriculture and technology, Minister Ale said Nepal is interested in collaborating with Israel to develop the forestry sector in the coming days.

He said Israel is a safe labour destination for Nepali migrant workers and also expressed confidence that it will assist Nepal in this sector also in the days to come.

In the meeting, Israeli Ambassador Goder said Israel was keen to collaborate with Nepal in the development of various sectors including forest.

"We have been providing development assistance in many sectors including agriculture and tourism in Nepal. We will now provide support in the forest development sector too," Ambassador Goder said.

Secretary at the Ministry of Forests and Environment, Bishwonath Oli, among other officials, were also present in the meeting.
