Delegation from Italy meets top officials from Expo Centre Sharjah

Mr. Salem Mohammed Al Mosharrekh, Board Member remarked that Italy is an important trading partner of the UAE and the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry is particulary keen to strengthen relations between Sharjah and Italy. The Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry, he said, earlier helped establish the 'Italy in Emirates' Project, which is a permenant exhibition of Italian products in Sharjah.

Remarking on the superior quality and competitiveness of Italian products, Prof. Manuela Del Lago pointed out, "The ingenuity, innovativeness and superior craftsmanship of Italy's specialised artisans have made a myriad of Italian products symbols of sophistication, luxury and style throughout the world.

"At the same time, the enterprise and business acumen of the thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises predominating the Italian economy, which have prospered by developing niche specialisation both in Italy and globally, have made Italy a world leader in many product segments," she said.

Mr. Fasahat Ali Khan said, "We at Expo Centre Sharjah are exploring different areas of co-operation to benefit from the synergies of the Vicenza Fair of Italy and our exhibitions and programmes. Our ultimate goal is to enhance the trade and investment co-operation between the two countries."

Elected President of Vicenza Province in 1997, Prof. Manuela Del Lago has brought the Vicenza Province two European Union Projects, on tackling pollution and enviornment defence. She has been re-elected President of Vicenza Province in 2002.

Mr. Andrea Turcato has been a member of the Italian Trade Commission Committee in Rome since 2001.
