International Delegations And Trademissions

The Chamber hosts delegations and business representatives seeking prospective local partners and products exposure. Chamber members are invited to meet with these delegations when appropriate.

Recognizing the importance of these meetings, the Chamber asks that all participants meet strict requirements.
