Health Minister Alexandru Rafila underscored the importance of promoting intolerance towards terrorism, especially among the youth, as they are the ones who will "take over the reins of society" in a short time.
"A year and a half ago, our world was shaken by what happened in Israel at the end of 2023. We must fight so that such things never happen again. We must stand in solidarity and I believe that one of the strong messages we all must give, especially to the young - because they are the ones who will take over the reins of society in a short time - must be that of intolerance (...) towards terrorism and towards the cruelty that, unfortunately, marks our society, and the State of Israel is constantly beleaguered with such issues," Rafila told the 16th edition of the International Conference on Diplomacy and Global Affairs for students "2DAY AMBASSADOR" organized on Thursday by the Laude-Reut Educational Complex in Bucharest.
He also pointed out that education represents a bridge between the Romanian and Israeli people, and tolerance is one of the fundamental elements a young person must be instilled with during their studies.
"The personal development of those who have or have had the opportunity to learn in this collegiate school is what has given them wings for a special career. (...) I was a little surprised by the conference theme - diplomacy through sports, a very, very good idea you cannot help but support, and I believe that the performances of Romanian athletes, of Israeli athletes are a proper - if you want - means of knowledge, of improving bilateral relations," Rafila concluded.
