Honduran president meets leaders for water-saving tips

While Israeli cities have been getting inundated with rain, causing widespread flooding, Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez Alvarado is in the country for meetings focused on learning about water conservation.

“We are here in order to benefit from your experience, and we hope to receive your support on this issue,” Alvardo says in a meeting with President Reuven Rivlin, according to a statement from Rivlin’s office. “The issue of water management in agriculture is among our highest priorities for our increasing cooperation, and I call on both the public and private sectors to invest in the agricultural areas across Honduras. We have the water, and we hope to learn from you how to manage it for effective irrigation.”

Alvardo also meets on the issue and cooperation in other areas with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu calls the visit an “important milestone” in the relationship for the countries and says he came to “the right place” to find a solution to the country’s water woes.
