President Reuven Rivlin told visiting President of Liberia George Weah on Thursday, “I am sure that under your leadership our relations will reach new heights.”
Weah, who rose to fame as a world-class soccer player, said, “I am excited to rekindle the relationship between us. Mr President, thank you and your people for not forgetting Liberia in our times of struggle. I have come to look at how we can work together for the benefit of both our peoples. As I said at the Davos Conference, Liberia is now open for business, and Israeli innovation and technical know-how will certainly help us grow and prosper.”
