June 22 – Stronger economic relations and friendship between Congo and Ascoli Piceno are now a reality, thanks to a mission of Piceno Promozione, the Special Agency of the Chamber of Commerce of Ascoli Piceno chaired by Gino Sabatini. The preliminary talks held in Milan at the Expo led the President of Piceno Promozion, Rolando Rosetti, to travel to Congo and meet with Dr. Fernand Moutete of the Chambre de Commerce d’Industrie d’Agriculture et des Métiers of Pointe-Noire ( CCIAM) and Rufin Mabanza, President of the “Groupment des Artisans.” The goal is to reach an agreement that will lead to the opening of the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce of Ascoli Piceno and Piceno Promozione within the offices of Chamber of Commerce in Pointe-Noire. The meetings with the Congolese ministers in Milan – explained the President of Piceno Promozione, Rolando Rosetti – and with the highest representatives of the Pointe-Noire Chamber of Commerce were organized to convey the instances of our business industry. I am sure that our work will give an opportunity to Piceno’s small and medium-sized companies to look into this very interesting market for the future. (Sis)
