Ministry touts the results of visit by students from IsraelBy Liu Tzu-hsuan / Staff reporterA group of students from Reichman University in Israel has completed a trip to Taiwan under the Argov Fellows Program in Leadership and Diplomacy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said at a news briefing yesterday. Twenty-one Israeli students arrived in Taiwan on July 2 for a week-long visit to promote exchanges with Taiwanese students, Department of West Asian and African Affairs Director-General Anthony Ho (賀忠義) said. The students also exchanged opinions with their counterparts at National Taiwan University and National Taiwan Normal University, as well as representatives of the ministry’s International Youth Ambassador Exchange Program, he said. The Argov Program, the brainchild of former Israeli ambassador Shlomo Argov, is a year-long interdisciplinary curriculum that combines academic training and practical skills through courses, seminars and workshops, the program’s Web site says. It selects about 20 Reichman University students and nurtures them for leadership positions for Israel, it says.
