Liverpool Chamber links up with Far Eastern governments

LIVERPOOL Chamber of Commerce has joined forces with countries in the Far East to help promote international trade with the city’s businesses.
 
The Memorandum of Understanding, an agreement reached between the Chamber, the Indonesian government and Singapore government, will look to support Liverpool businesses in international trade, promote the growth of investment between the countries and provide support to companies overseas.

The agreement will see businesses provided with introductions and networking opportunities with international chamber members and business communities abroad.
 
They will also be provided with access to office facilities and associated services from the British Chamber of Commerce in both Indonesia and Singapore.
 
The agreement has been announced following a series of major international trade delegations, which have come to Liverpool.
 
The Chamber last week hosted a round table event with Invest Macedonia, a Macedonian Government organisation, to further encourage international trade and promote future investment opportunities. The Deputy Prime Minister of Macedonia, The Minister for Foreign Investments, the CEO of Invest Macedonia and the Head of International Office in the UK and Ireland were present.
 
The Chamber also welcomed representatives from Russia to a similar event held last week and to discuss the importance of corporate identity and urban marketing.
 
Jenny Stewart, chief operating office at the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, said: “The Chamber is committed to nurturing businesses to grow both inside and outside of the UK and the agreement with Singapore and Indonesia marks a key milestone in our efforts to offer businesses overseas support.
 
“Promoting trade in emerging markets is essential for Liverpool’s economic prosperity and I am delighted we are now in a position to extend our support services further afield. We look forward to working with local businesses looking to establish themselves in new and exciting marketplaces and the success this will bring in the future.”
