Angola Initiates Ties With Israel United Nations (JTA) — The People's Republic of Angola has joined the grow- ing list of countries to have full diplomatic ties with Israel. The move was announced by the U.N. ambassadors of the two countries during a ceremony at the Angolan Mission to the United Nations. The step was agreed upon in January, when Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy met in Lisbon with his Angolan counterpart, Pedro de Castro dos Santos Van- Dunem. This brings to 18 the number of African countries with ties to Israel. Following the 1973 Yom Kippur War, all but four African coun- tries broke their ties with Israel. Angola, however, did not become independent un- til 1975. An exchange of ambas- sadors remains to be discussed between the two countries. Israel's foreign service, and Foreign Min- istry budget, has been strained by the rapid burst of diplomatic ties since the end of the Cold War. - In recent months, Israel has established relations with China, India and several newly independent republics of the former Soviet Union. Talks Begin With Vatican Jerusalem (JTA) — A breakthrough is expected soon in relations between Israel and the Vatican. Official bilateral talks will begin shortly, possibly next month, leading eventually to the establishment of full dip- lomatic relations between the Jewish state and the Holy See. The Vatican says it recog- nizes Israel de facto, but it has withheld formal diplo- matic representation. Late- ly, contacts between them have warmed, a develop- ment officials here attribute to the improvement in Israel's international stan- ding generally. The Vatican has relations with 18 of the 21 Arab League member states. It has no ties, however, with Israel's neighbor, Jordan, on the grounds that its borders have not yet been finalized under international law. The same reason has often been cited for denying Israel diplomatic recognition. and kilirror 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE "Serving You With 35 Years Experience In All Your Glass and Mirror Needs" • Custom Mirror Walls • Bi-fold Mirror Doors • Sliding Mirror Doors • Heavy Plate Glass Table Tops • Glass & Screen Repair • Patio Door Rollers • Custom Shower Doors • Glass Tables "Come Visit Our New Showroom on the Southeast Corner of 12 Mile and Greenfield 4195 W. 12 Mile Road Berkley • 547-1214 Mon.-Fri. 8-5 pm Sat. 9-2 pm TELL HIM A LITTLE ICE IS ALL IT TAKES TO MELT YOUR HEART Pour on the ice.
