NEW YORK – The Cyprus-U.S. Chamber of Commerce will honor ExxonMobil with the 2019 Distinguished Merit Award at its Annual Awards Dinner on Friday, May 3.
Bestowed annually, the Award honors corporations and individuals who have raised the profile of Cyprus and made an extraordinary contribution in strengthening trade relations between Cyprus and the United States of America. The Cyprus-U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Awards Dinner will be held at the Union League Club, 38 East 37th Street, in Manhattan.
“We are very excited about the 2019 Awards Dinner event, and truly proud to have ExxonMobil as our 2019 Award recipient,” said Mr. Nicolas Nicolaou, President of the Cyprus-U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
ExxonMobil is the world’s largest publicly traded international oil and gas company.

With a presence of over half a century, its activities also span the supply, distribution, and marketing of petroleum products through Esso branded Service Stations across the island.
