A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity

One of the most anticipated pieces of this trip, most travelers agree, is our organized trip to the American Embassy in Beijing to visit with former Montana U.S. Senator and now Ambassador to China, Max Baucus.

On April 13 we will lead a group of 95 individuals from the Flathead Valley to visit Ambassador Baucus for a 2-hour session on how the Ambassador manages the complex trade and economic relationship the U.S. has with China and how he works to promote opportunities for business and investment in Montana the United States.

Immediately following our time with Ambassador Baucus, we will move to a reception format, which we have learned will consist of over 250 business leaders from the Asia Pacific Council of American Chambers of Commerce who are in Beijing for their 2016 Business Conference.  The Council is comprised of American Chambers from 29 countries across Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim.

We are excited to meet these international business leaders to discuss the business climate between America, China, and the countries of the Pacific Rim and how we might benefit the economy of Montana and the Flathead Valley.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event and we could not be more grateful for the opportunity and invitation from Ambassador Baucus and the Asia Pacific Council of American Chambers of Commerce.

Keep an eye on our local news sources in Montana for coverage from our Embassy visit! We'll also post updates and photo/video coverage here as well.
