The American Chamber of Commerce in South China (AmCham South
China) unveils action plan for the remainder of 2007 to stimulate
positive and environmentally sustainable growth in the economies of
both the United States and China.
AmCham South China has devised a program of events under the
theme of "cross-investment for benefit", which focuses on
environmental protection and trade promotion.
From August 27 to 29, AmCham South China, in cooperation with
the US Trade Development Agency, will bring more than 100 liquid
natural gas (LNG) experts and technology vendors from around the
APEC region to Guangzhou, and hold a forum with local LNG experts,
to deploy clean energy technologies in South China.
"We hope multilateral gains in the energy industries of
participating countries, specially China and the Untied States,"
said Harley Seyedin, president of AmCham South China.
Next month, AmCham South China will lead a delegation of more
than 100 US business leaders to the annual China International Fair
for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) in Xiamen.
Amcham South China will play host to the US Ambassador to
Singapore and the American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore in
their five-day trip to South China.
AmCham South China will introduce the Singaporean delegation to
the South China investment environment, as well as relevant points
of contact for future cooperation in the various government offices
across South China to promote direct dialogue.
Seyedin promised AmCham South China will work closely with
PennWell Corporation and the Independent Power Producers' Forum on
"China's Energy future", the first international power generation
conference to be held in China.
The event is expected to bring the energy leadership of China
together with the leaders of 150 major international energy
companies to discuss energy investment projects across China,
energy efficiency, and how best to conserve the environment while
meeting China's growing energy needs.
This will be followed in 2008 by a major energy exhibition in
Guangzhou to bring together thousands of Chinese and international
energy companies representing the state-of-the-art green power
generation.
Five other events will be held before October.
Seyedin quoted American Ambassador Clark Rant as saying: "It
seems evident that the economic success of either the United States
or China will not only benefit each other, but also a significant
portion of the global economy at large, which deals with and
potentially depends on our two countries' economic strength."
