Although the website is not current and my good friend Bassem Nijem is no longer the General Manager, I wanted to highlight this World Trade Center. Why? Because I had the honor to visit it personally in October 2009. Robert Thompson and myself visited many of the Palestinian businesses (West Bank) there in a trade mission.
We were able to see for ourselves the quality manufacturing plants and products: olive oil, soap, ceremics, chemicals, textiles,cosmetics, cabinets, granite and more. I was very impressed with the quality and perserverence of these business men. (They face huge trade challenges because of Israeli restrictions.)
Not only did Bassem plan tours for us to see businesses, but also a memorable visit through the Holy Land. It is a trip I will never forget not only for the wonderful people I met, but for the beauty and richness of the land and culture.
