WASHINGTON (AFP) – US Senator John Kerry appealed Tuesday for cementing US ties with the Muslim world with a two-way exchange of professionals like teachers, city planners, and public health workers.
Kerry, who chairs the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, introduced a bill calling for a three-year pilot program to draw such workers from 4-7 Muslim-majority countries to be picked by the US State Department.
"This legislation is designed to help build professional capacity, strengthen civil society, and improve ties between the United States and Muslim-majority countries," he said in a statement.
