#AGERPRES130 Israel's ambassador David Saranga on National News Agency: Objective, professional coverage

Ambassador of Israel in Bucharest David Saranga says that in an era where information and the accuracy thereof are essential, the AGERPRES National News Agency has a very important role, because it informs "in an objective and professional manner". "It gives me great joy to congratulate AGERPRES on its 130th anniversary. AGERPRES is not something unknown to me, we met 20 years ago when I was in Romania as vice ambassador, between 1997-2000, and I remember from back then how professional you are," the diplomat said in his message. Ambassador Saranga also refers to the professionally written, unbiased journalistic content run by AGERPRES. "We live today in an era where information and the accuracy of information are very important, and in this regard what AGERPRES does is very important, but also very professional. You usually inform people in an objective, very professional way, and very fast. Since we live in the days of social media and social media platforms, your activity is really important, and I personally really appreciate it. As for the cooperation between the embassy and AGERPRES, I know that every time we announce the organization of events, you always come and always cover issues related to Israel in a very, very professional manner. Another aspect I really like is your coverage of a wide range of topics, whether political, cultural or other, which shows how professional you are. I wish you another 130 years of activity and I wish you that they are equally successful as those you just celebrate today," says Israel's ambassador in Bucharest. *** The history of AGERPRES National News Agency starts on 27 March 1889, when P.P. Carp, the then Foreign Minister, signs the birth certificate of the Telegraphic Agency of Romania, which broadcast nationwide "an exact and fast service of all news items of general or special interest." In less than a month, the Telegraphic Agency of Romania started its actual activity, by sending the first 'telegram' on 11 April. Since 1921, the National News Agency has been broadcasting news items and information without interruption. In the 130 years of activity, AGERPRES has kept its role of being the main information source for the citizens and institutions in Romania, as well as the most important source of news about Romania, for those abroad. The National News Agency continues to update the world and provide balanced, unbiased information.
