Famagusta Gate, host of the launch event of the Alexandrion Foundation in Cyprus
The Alexandrion Foundation now also has a branch in Cyprus. On Monday, 27 November 2017, at a festive gala, the Foundation honoured a number of personalities from Cyprus and Romania who have contributed to strengthening relations between the two countries.
The Alexandrion Foundation was established in 2003 in Romania as an independent part of Alexandrion Group, the largest producer of alcoholic beverages in our country.
The Foundation’s Values and Principles
The Foundation aims to promote and support humanitarian ideas, with an emphasis on cultural and sporting events. The common reference point in all its activities is the financial, social and cultural development of agencies and independent groups that place the individual and his or her development at the centre of their interests.
These principles, as mentioned in the opening speech of Mr Nawaf Salameh, founder and chairman of the Alexandrion Foundation and of Alexandrion Group, are also taken up by the Alexandrion Foundation Cyprus, to be cultivated and promoted on the island, a country with long-standing contacts with Romania, in terms of both trade relations and cultural and intellectual exchange.
For this reason, the launch event of the Alexandrion Foundation Cyprus was dedicated to those personalities who, without any ulterior motive, have devoted their work to strengthening relations between the two countries. The awards ceremony was followed by a charming reception, accompanied by live jazz and swing music, where guests had the chance to enjoy a wide range of food and imaginative cocktails, a range inspired by the selection of beverages imported into Cyprus by Alexandrion Group through its official distributor, Fereos Fourpoint Distribution Ltd.
Following the launch event, the Alexandrion Foundation outlined its future actions in Cyprus and established the connections needed for the cultural and social responsibility it has taken on.
