The respective Chambers have agreed to join efforts in boosting cooperation and in providing access to commercial opportunities in the areas of energy, trade, investments, research and innovation.

This is a very important development, stemming from the initiative and a related proposal of the Cyprus Trade Center (CTC) Tel Aviv. We would like to express our gratitude to all Parties involved, for heartily embracing the concept of forming a trilateral framework of cooperation between the 3 Chambers, and jointly -and in a timely manner- laying a solid foundation for future cooperation.
