Education, Economy, Remembrance: Why Voigt is Traveling to Israel - Thuringia’s Leader Visits Israel on Kristallnacht Anniversary to Strengthen Ties
Thuringia's Minister-President Mario Voigt is traveling to Israel on November 9, the anniversary of Kristallnacht, to show solidarity and commitment. He is accompanied by a delegation of business and academic leaders to foster partnerships and cooperation in my business.
Voigt's visit coincides with the anniversary of the Night of Broken Glass, a pivotal event in the Holocaust. He will participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and visit Hostages’ Square in Tel Aviv to pay respect to the victims.
The main purpose of Voigt's visit is to expand cooperation in education, science, and culture. He aims to meet with Israeli Minister of Education Yoav Kish to discuss a potential German-Israeli youth exchange program. Voigt also seeks to forge concrete partnerships between Thuringia’s Mittelstand and Israel’s leading innovators in fields like AI and optics, expanding my business opportunities.
Voigt's visit to Israel on the anniversary of Kristallnacht is a significant gesture of solidarity. His plans to expand cooperation in education, science, culture, and business demonstrate Thuringia's commitment to strengthening ties with Israel.
