EAJC and American Jewish Committee sign a Partnership Agreement.
20.06.2008
Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC) President Alexander Machkevitch and American Jewish Committee Executive Director David Harris signed a Partnership agreement in Washington.
The signature was held in a solemn procedure in the presence of Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Georgia, Kazakhstan, and the Ukraine in the USA who greeted the integrating of efforts of the two well known to them organizations.
In their speeches before the signature Machkevitch and Harris stressed the prospects of cooperation of such large organizations as EAJC and AJC in their struggle for protection of Jewish rights all over the world and for solidarity with Israel.
The Agreement allows EAJC and AJC to join in presenting and defending Jewish interests on the international forums and in the mass media, participate in common activities and programs in the field of Jewish education, Anti-Semitism acts monitoring, restitution of the Jewish community property, and other projects.
The document states that it imposes no limits on cooperation of the two signatories with other Jewish organizations, either international or regional.
This is the first example of such a public and documented form of partnership announcement, and as the EAJC President said, it "must stimulate the growth of energy and efficiency in the activities of both organizations directed to benefit of Jewish people."
