American business lobby to host exclusive dinner with Aung San Suu Kyi
When the US government relaxed sanctions on Myanmar’s state-run companies and banks but stopped short of lifting all sanctions in May this year, the US Chamber of Commerce was not pleased. The American business lobby called for the US to “normalize” relations fully and introduce preferable trade terms to encourage export-led industries in Myanmar. Now the US Chamber of Commerce is pressing harder—not with the US government this time, but with Myanmar’s State Counselor and Foreign Minister Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. In collaboration with the US-ASEAN Business Council, the US Chamber of Commerce is hosting a roundtable discussion, reception and dinner with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi at the Four Seasons Hotel on September 15 during her visit to Washington DC this week.
