Mpa Participates In Hermes Trade Expo
In New York Today Thessaloniki, May 7 (MPA)

The Macedonian Press Agency is participating at the 7th Annual Business Development Trade Show and Exhibition in the United States (Hermes Expo International 1999), to be held today and tomorrow, (May 7-8) at the New York Hilton.

The event is expected to give the opportunity to Greeks living on both sides of the Atlantic to consolidate their communication channels.

This marks the first the MPA has the opportunity to take part in such an organized show, which will illustrate the agency’s multifaceted activities in the media sector, and especially its singular commitment to the Greek community abroad.

This year’s event will also feature the participation of ventures from Albania, Romania and other Balkan countries.

Greece’s Undersecretary of Sports Andreas Fouras will inaugurate the event and has expressed the hope that the participation of the General Secretariat of Sports and representatives of the Greek business sector will contribute to the further advancement of Greek products and services in the U.S., as well as to the promotion of Greece’s sports infrastructure, especially in light of the Athens-held Olympic Games of 2004.

The Archbishop of America Spyridon will also attend the inauguration ceremony.

Greek businesses interested in serving the needs of the Greek American community and establishing an initial strong foothold in the massive American market, the exhibition is certainly worth attending as a number of joint-venture seminars will be held, which can provide fertile ground for such investments.
