The Israeli Embassy in Asuncion, Paraguay, has been reopened, after having been closed since 2002, along with 15 other Israeli embassies and consulates around the world, due to budgetary constraints.
This is the third of the 15 to be re-opened. The Israeli Embassy in Wellington, New Zealand, reopened in 2010. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has announced that the re-opening would “promote cooperation and dialogue and bilateral trade and sports and cultural activities. It will also sustain the connection with the 6,000-strong Jewish community in New Zealand.
Also in 2010, Israel re-opened its consulate in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Sao Paolo is the largest city in the southern hemisphere, and serves as an industrial, economic and communications center for all of Latin America. The city also has a large, 80,000-strong Jewish community.
Still closed, however, are the embassies or consulates in Marseilles, France; Sydney, Australia; Harare, Zimbabwe; Minsk, Belarus; Montreal, Canada and others.
Paraguay will reopen it’s embassy in Israel soon, after an eight year absence.
