Abuja Chamber of Commerce president Tony Ejinkeonye and vice president, Jude Igwe have arrived in the People’s Republic of China with one principal object in mind; to seek economic and commercial partnership with the various Chambers of Commerce in many important commercial districts and provinces in China.
The essence of the whole thing is to get both sides to act as facilitators of business cooperation and interactions between members of the chambers in particular and both countries in general.
In the first of the series of meetings scheduled for this trade mission, a meeting was held between the officials of Guizhuo Chamber of Commerce, Foshan Branch, with its President Mr. Wei Hai (who also doubles as the Deputy President, Guangdong Province branch) who led other officials, including the Vice President Mr. Wu Wenlong, Mr. Huang Hua and Mr. William Zhang among others on their side while the Abuja Chamber was represented by Messrs Ejinkeonye and Igwe.
At a bilateral meeting lasting several hours, various issues affecting trade and commerce between business men and in particular members of the chamber movement in both countries were discussed.
Problem areas were identified, analysed and solutions suggested. Of particular interest was the idea of using the chambers to inform members interested in doing businesses in either country of the respective rules and regulations that govern various kinds of transactions.
Abuja Chamber also used the opportunity to highlight the numerous areas that are open for highly profitable investments in the Nigerian economy and the very relaxed processes and incentives the government has put in place to encourage such investors.
