ROME, July 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — “Gianni Agnelli, in arte l’Avvocato” has been awarded the 2023 Globo d’Oro, i.e. Italian Golden Globe, as Best Documentary. “This is the most important recognition we have received. We have been investing in television for four years: this is the first award for an important documentary. Important because I have a personal connection to it. I lived with the Avvocato, I knew him very well and I called him Giovanni unlike the others who called him Gianni or l’Avvocato,” said the founder and President of LaPresse, Marco Durante, who produced the documentary. The film portrait of the Avvocato won the statuette on the evening that the Italian Foreign Press Association devotes every year to Italian cinema. Receiving the prize at Villa Massimo was the film director Emanuele Imbucci, sharing the stage with giants from the world of Italian and international cinema such as John Malkovich and Marco Bellocchio. “I am happy because this award is not for me but for LaPresse. There is not a day, month or year that we do not take a step forward. And this is not thanks to me but rather to the machine we have created,” Durante continued. “Who do I dedicate this award to? To Avvocato Agnelli. Without him I would not be who I am. If I had not met Donna Marella, I would not have learnt manners. If I had not met the Avvocato, I would not be the person I am now.”

Webuild, Cohesion Policy-funded Braila Bridge in Romania inaugurated today

It will connect the Black Sea ports and the Danube Delta with the rest of the country and with the wider Trans-European Transport Network

Pietro Salini

One of the biggest Cohesion Policy-funded projects, the Braila Bridge in Romania, was inaugurated today. CEO of Webuild Pietro Salini, said at the inauguration: “After Braila, we are ready to build a record bridge over the Strait of Messina”.

MILAN, Italy, July 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — One of the biggest Cohesion Policy-funded projects, the Braila Bridge in Romania, was inaugurated today. It will connect the Black Sea ports and the Danube Delta with the rest of the country and with the wider Trans-European Transport Network. It is the longest structure in the country with a total length of 1,975 metres and is the second longest suspension bridge in continental Europe, with a central span of 1,120 metres. The EU’s contribution to this project amounts to €363 million from Cohesion Policy funds.

The bridge was built by the joint venture between the Italian company Webuild, which holds a 60% share, and the Japanese company IHI Infrastructure Systems. 2 km long, 38 meters above the water and with four lanes, this suspension bridge is the largest in Romania and the largest over the Danube and, overall, the third largest suspension bridge in the EU. The bridge will allow the free transit of vessels and it will replace a slow and unreliable ferry link, which is often interrupted during winter and bad weather conditions.

It was inaugurated today in the presence of the President of Romania Klaus Iohannis, the European Commissioner for Transport Adina-Ioana Valean and the Undersecretary of State to the Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport Undersecretary Tullio Ferrante, accompanied by the Italian Ambassador in Bucharest Alfredo Durante Mangoni and the CEO of Webuild Pietro Salini.

Salini: “After Braila, we are ready to build a record bridge over the Strait of Messina”

“After the inauguration of two new stations of the M4 metro in Milan in recent days, today we are proud to cut the ribbon on another project, the Braila Bridge, which will improve and simplify the everyday life of many people and businesses in the region, bringing them closer together and creating value”. This was stated by Pietro Salini, CEO of Webuild.

“Together with IHI, after the technological challenge of Braila, we are ready to build, again with a single span, a record-breaking bridge over the Strait of Messina, placing at the service of the country the successes that Italian engineering has achieved in the world. Due to the length of its central span, Braila represents a 1:3 scale model of the bridge that will finally unite Sicily and Calabria. These projects are first and foremost dreams, and today our Group has the honour of making them a reality,” Salini added. The two banks of the Danube in south-eastern Romania are now connected by the newly completed Braila Bridge, the longest bridge in the country with a total length of 1,975 metres and the second longest suspension bridge in continental Europe, with a central span of 1,120 metres.

Puerto Princesa hosting 2nd int’l dragon boat festival

PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan – The city government has partnered with the Philippine Canoe Kayak Dragonboat Federation (PCKDF) to stage the 2nd Puerto Princesa International Dragon Boat Festival in November. Puerto Princesa Mayor Lucilo Bayron and PCKDF president Leonora Escollante signed the memorandum of agreement at the city hall in Barangay Sta. Monica on Friday, solidifying their commitment to host the dragon boat festival from Nov. 17 to 19. Bayron said staging the water sport event here positions the city as a premier destination for sports tourism in the country. He expressed his optimism that the event will attract both local and international participants, contributing to Puerto Princesa’s vision of becoming a prominent sports hub. “Our goal is to establish Puerto Princesa as a sports tourism capital, and this dragon boat festival is an integral part of our broader sports tourism program. We anticipate a vibrant economy as we welcome numerous participants to the event,” he added. Escollante said the sport competition which will take place at Puerto Princesa Bay expects the participation of 10 to 12 teams of paddlers maneuvering their dragon boats. “We will also involve our local dragon boat players and may even offer a clinic for them. Consequently, there will be separate categories for local participants and international paddlers,” she said. This marks the second time that Puerto Princesa will host the international dragon boat festival, Escollante said. The city previously organized a local festival in 2017, followed by the inaugural international edition in 2018. Meanwhile, Bayron revealed that Puerto Princesa has lined up several sports events as the year comes to a close. Among these are the World Table Tennis Championship in October and the Ironman 70.3 Puerto Princesa on Nov. 12. The city aims to leverage these sporting events to boost its reputation as a thriving sports tourism destination. (PNA)

Vietnam, Egypt aim to raise two-way trade to 1 billion USD

Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son hosted a reception for Egyptian Ambassador to Vietnam Amal Abdel Kader Elmorsi Salama in Hanoi on July 7, during which the guest affirmed to do her utmost to create a breakthrough for the two countries’ ties in order to raise bilateral trade to 1 billion USD as set by the nations’ leaders.

At the meeting, Son stated that Vietnam attaches importance to traditional friendship and cooperation with Egypt, one of the first states in the Middle East and Africa to establish diplomatic ties with the Southeast Asian country.

He expressed his delight at the positive developments in relations between the two countries in recent times. Egypt is currently Vietnam’s leading trading partner in North Africa, with trade turnover increasing year by year and hitting almost 600 million USD last year.

The FM suggested that the diplomat promote her experience and make contributions to further strengthening their bilateral ties, especially in such fields as policy-diplomacy, trade-investment, Halal, and response to climate change.

For her part, the Egyptian ambassador affirmed that ample room remains for both nations to promote cooperation, and promised that she will do her utmost to create a breakthrough for bilateral relations in the coming time, in order to raise bilateral trade to 1 billion USD as set by the two countries’ leaders.

On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries (1963 – 2023), both host and guest agreed to closely coordinate to promote the exchange of delegations and effectively implement bilateral cooperation mechanisms, such as the organisation of the sixth session of the Vietnamese – Egyptian Joint Committee.

They also pledged to enhance cooperation between the localities of the two countries, coordinate to hold cultural and artistic exchange activities to increase mutual understanding between the two countries’ people and promote the negotiation and signing of cooperation agreements in aviation and double taxation avoidance./.
