Chamber builds relationship with Mayor of Nagoya, Japan
The Chamber met with the Hon. Takashi Kawamura, Mayor of Nagoya, Japan, who was in Los Angeles recently to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the sister city relationship between Los Angeles and Nagoya. Nagoya, often referred to as "Japan's Industrial Heartland," is the first sister city of Los Angeles, while the Port of Nagoya, Japan's largest port, also fosters a strong relationship with the Port of Los Angeles. The Chamber and the Nagoya Chamber of Commerce and Industry will collaborate closely in the months to come to facilitate business growth and development in both regions. Contact Jasmin Sakai-Gonzalez, 213.580.7569 or [email protected].
The Chamber and the City of Los Angeles are advocating for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) to be held in Los Angeles in 2011. It is the largest foreign policy meeting in the nation and was established in 1989 as the primary intergovernmental forum for facilitating economic growth, cooperation, trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region. View the letter sent by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa urging the Obama Admnistration to consider Los Angeles as the location of the APEC conference.
