11 March 2011 – Mr. Ron Nechemia, the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the EurOrient Financial Group (“EurOrient”), issued the following statement today:
On behalf of the EurOrient Financial Group, I wish to extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to the people of Japan and government, most especially those who lost family and friends in the devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunamis.
Japan the most generous contributors to international development and to humanitarian relief efforts, coming to the assistance of those in need the world over. As an earthquake-prone country, Japan contributes actively to reconstruction efforts, making good use of its knowledge and experience.
Japan has taken leadership in response to the challenges confronting the international community in addressing the global agenda, including climate change, water security and food supplies, and infectious diseases; reducing poverty through equitable growth; improving governance, such as through reform of the policies and systems of developing country governments; and achieving human security.
The friendship and alliance between the Government of Japan and the EurOrient Financial Group as a committed member of the international community is unshakable, we're bound together by a common humanity, and only strengthens our resolve to stand with the people of Japan as they overcome this tragedy.
In that spirit, the EurOrient Financial Group stands ready to help the Japanese people in this time of great trial and we will do anything and everything we can at this very difficult time.
