Strengthening Ties: MIBA Hosts Leaders from the Consul General of Israel to the Midwest
Written by Rachel Fine, MIBA Community Engagement Manager
On October 7, the MIBA team had the honor of welcoming two leaders from the Consul General of Israel to the Midwest: Itai Biran, Consul for Political and Commercial Affairs, and Ethan Ramer, Senior Officer for Public Affairs. They joined us for lunch at the Elevator in Downtown Detroit.
Their visit offered a valuable opportunity to explore potential partnerships. The Consul General’s office plays a crucial role in representing Israel throughout the Midwest, focusing on enhancing diplomatic relations, promoting cultural exchange, and engaging with local communities. A key area of shared interest between MIBA and the Consul General’s office is economic relations, particularly in fostering trade and investment between Israel and Michigan.
In the past, the Consul General’s office has supported our educational events and delegation programs, and we look forward to further strengthening and expanding this important relationship.
