NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AQUAGOLD INTERNATIONAL (Pink Sheets:AQUI), a global distributor of premier Canadian spring water products, announces its sponsorship of "Celebrating the Full Moon Together -- A Series of Events Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and the United States." The event will take place in New York City.
This event, curated by the United States and China Foundation (USCF) and co-organized by the USCF, China Arts & Entertainment Group, the National Committee on United States-China Relation and China Institution, celebrates the on-going development of communication and understanding between the two countries and promotes strong Sino-US relations. The USCF is a non-profit organization established in the United States in 1992. Its purpose is to facilitate exchanges between the United States and China in a variety of areas, including politics, economics, culture and education. This event is the largest in scale since USCF was founded and has attracted the most influential people to date.
In a press conference held by USCF on August 14, 2009 in Shanghai, China, the details of this event were announced. Highlights of this event include an award presentation to Dr. Henry Kissinger, former US Secretary of State, and Mr. Chai Zemin, honorary chairman and general advisor of USCF as well as former US President Jimmy Carter and former US President George H.W. Bush. An Entrepreneurs Summit, a concert featuring top Chinese and American singers and a painting and calligraphy exhibition showcasing China's renowned artists are also on the itinerary. Among the presenters at this press conference was Marc-Olivier Hassoun, Vice President of Asian Market Sales for AQUAGOLD. With corporate offices in both China and the US, and York Tang, a Chinese national, as one of the founding members of the publicly traded corporation in the US, AQUAGOLD is an example of the relationships the USCF intends to foster. Mr. Hassoun thanked the people of these two great nations and expressed AQUAGOLD's support for ongoing and improved relations between them both politically and economically.
"We already have an incredibly strong presence in China and are looking forward to continued prosperous business relationships there," said Mr. Domingo Silvas III, CEO of Aquagold International. "For AQUAGOLD to sponsor something this significant is truly an honor," Mr. Silvas continues. "We are very excited to not only sponsor this event but to have the opportunity to provide our flagship product, our 500mL bottle of Premier Canadian Spring Water, to the many people who will be in attendance and participating. Our provision and support shows our commitment to business development in the Chinese market."
