President Reuven Rivlin hosted President Idriss Deby of Chad Sunday evening at the President's Residence in Jerusalem. Noting the countries' common fight against terror, Rivlin said, "For us, Africa is the future, Chad is the future, and Israel wants to share its experience with you.”
Deby responded, "What is important is the future. The future of our relations, the future of our peoples and the future of Israel and Africa." He concluded, “Africa is the continent of the future. And your country has a place in that future."
