Shai Afsai, who lives in Rhode Island, USA, met his brother, Amir Afsai, who lives in Jerusalem in Guam, and they both flew to Pohnpei last week.
Governor Oliver welcomed the Afsai brothers to his office at Peilapalap and also at the Honorary Consul of Israel’s office for a visit and hosted the brothers along with other visitors and state officials at his residence for a dinner reception.
As a nation that has consistently supported and advocated for Israel’s interests at the United Nations, the Afsai brothers were happy to not only visit Pohnpei, FSM, but also to meet the Honorary Consul of the State of Israel in the FSM, Governor Reed B.
Oliver.
They spent their short time in Pohnpei, visiting tourist attractions like Nan Madol and Kepirohi waterfall, visiting the College of Micronesia and even the mass grave of the Sokehs Rebellion with Governor Oliver.
