Israel keen to assist Sri Lanka in modernization of agriculture, education

[Uguduwa]

.....
Recalling his visits to Israel during his tenure as Defense Secretary, the President said that Israel has the capability to support the development of selected sectors in the Sri Lankan economy.

“Agriculture is very important to us in terms of its contribution to the national economy and the number of people employed. Much of it depends on traditional methods. Farmers do not get enough income. They suffer from chronic poverty. Therefore, young people are reluctant to choose agriculture as a career. Therefore, modernization of agriculture is essential to generate sufficient income and attract the youth,” President Rajapaksa said.

Responding positively to the President Rajapaksa’s request, the Israeli ambassador said his country has the ability to add value to existing agricultural activities by introducing modern methods of farming.

The Ambassador also pointed out that it is also possible for Israel to assist Sri Lanka in the modernization of the fields of education and vocational training.

There's nothing to destroy. Agriculture in Sri Lanka is extremely inefficient mess. It needs modern technology.

And you suppose the Israelis will do that out of good faith?

It's all business. Nobody does something out of good faith. Mind you Israel was also a long term arms provider in war time.
