year marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations
between the State of Israel and the Republic of Croatia, and this visit to
Israel is one of many events by which the Embassy of the State of Israel is
marking this anniversary.
In the three-day program lasting from
28.02. - 02.03.2022. the delegation will visit 8 Israeli companies dealing with
agricultural technologies – irrigation and precision agriculture – and will

of being a kibbutz member.
Israel, through its Embassy in Zagreb, is
actively cooperating with the Republic of Croatia in the exchange of knowledge
in the field of agriculture, and we wish to continue to deepen friendly
relations and develop business cooperation in many additional fields like cyber,
AI, and climate innovation for mutual benefit and satisfaction, creating a
win-win situation for both our countries and their peoples.
