In an atmosphere full of elegance and harmony, in the presence of select guests, the A.G. Leventios Gallery became the venue where Alexandrion Foundation Cyprus honoured the 100th anniversary of Romania, awarding notable personalities from Romania who honour their country of origin through their work and the successful careers they have abroad.
Alexandrion Foundation Cyprus, which was inaugurated last year during the gala held at the Famagusta Gate, has already succeeded in laying the foundations of a solid activity in Cyprus, concentrating on social involvement and support for culture.
The Alexandrion Foundation wishes to promote and support humanitarian causes with an emphasis on culture and sport. A common reference point in all the Foundation’s undertakings is the economic, social and cultural development of associations, independent groups and organisations that care about people.
These principles, mentioned in the speech of Mr Nawaf Salameh, Chairman and Founder of the Alexandrion Foundation and of Alexandrion Group, are also cultivated and promoted by the Foundation in Cyprus, a country that has extended its ties with Romania in the area of trade relations as well as in the exchange of culture and ideas.
In their speeches, all the winners (Ramona Filip, Dr Simona Mihai-Yiannaki, Dr Adriana Poenaru Spastri and Elena Lazăr) expressed their gratitude for the honour of receiving the award from the Foundation and from the Romanian community in Cyprus. They all also highlighted the unique initiative and the achievements of Alexandrion Foundation Cyprus, which include setting the standard of social responsibility at the highest level.
During the ceremony, guests were able to learn details about the importance of the historic moment that Romania is celebrating this year: 100 years since the Great Union of 1918. At the same time, the guests were able to enjoy a folklore programme of Romanian dances presented by the Olariu Dance Academy.
After the awards ceremony, Alexandrion Foundation Cyprus offered a cocktail gala with live music, during which all the guests had the opportunity to taste cocktails prepared with the spirits of Alexandrion Group, distributed in Cyprus through Fereos Fourpoint Distribution Ltd.
