The National Beverage Company Coca-Cola/Cappy (NBC) provided bronze sponsorship for the “first” Palestinian Forum for the Economic Media, which was launched by Al-Eqtesadia newspaper at Gaza, in partnership with various private organizations in Palestine. The event was attended by official and non-official economic and media figures from Gaza and the northern governorates.
Commenting on the sponsorship for the Forum, Mr. Imad al-Hindi, General Manager of NBC, said: “We are excited to sponsor the launch of the “first” Palestinian Forum for the Economic Media, which contributes to the advancement and uplifting of economic media, in view of the need for strong and effective economic media, which in turn constitutes an active and paramount partner in delineating the government’s directions and decisions regarding the current economic crises
He confirmed that NBC is keen to support all the economic events and activities, promote the economic culture among the Palestinian people to raise their awareness about all the economic issues and crises, and their impact on their lives and investments. Mr. al-Hindi emphasized the importance of supporting all the activities, events and initiatives performed across all sectors in Gaza, to achieve the desired development, especially amidst the tough conditions and the specific situation of the Gaza community. He added: “NBC strives to fulfil its social responsibilities towards all sectors and groups in Gaza, including conducting creative initiatives to empower the less-privileged groups and achieve the desired development in the Gaza community.
Mohammad Abu Jayyab, Editor-in-chief of Al-Eqtesadia praised NBC for its efforts and interest to support various activities that reinforce the media and the economic sector, and he values the cooperation with NBC which goes way back in time.
Abu Jayyab confirmed that through the first Palestinian Forum for the Economic Media we aim at advancing our economy and achieving sustainable development by building specialized economic media that promotes our nation and raises the awareness of the Palestinian people. He added: “Hopefully, the Forum will constitute a paradigm shift by advancing the economic media and incorporating it with the various economic sectors, in the interest of attaining media vision that supports the economic development in Palestine”.
This is not the first cooperation between NBC and Al-Eqtesadia newspaper, as NBC supported a training program on economic affairs that targeted the “media professionals in media outlets” in Gaza with the Palestinian Forum for the Economic Media.
