AmCham Delegation Meets Tom Ridge
4th June 2008
During last month’s Washington, DC policy advocacy trip, AmCham-China members met with former Pennsylvania Governor and former Homeland Security Director, and current McCain campaign national co-chair Tom Ridge. For Ridge Global LLC’s website:
The delegation, whose participants met with Capitol Hill legislators, think tanks and trade groups, sat down with Ridge Global’s chief executive to discuss the challenges and opportunities of export controls, trade security, VISA issues and other matters facing American industry in an increasingly interdependent global economy.
“America’s security and prosperity is tied to the security and prosperity of the rest of the world,” said Secretary Ridge following the event. “To remain a leader in the competitive economy, we must advance the co-mingling of ideas, innovation, collaboration and ongoing friendship with our friends and allies.”
During the annual event, which follows the release of the White Paper, an AmCham delgation meets with top US decision makers from both parties to help improve US-China economic policy.
