Southwest Chapter Dallas, TX
Members of the U.S.-Mexico Chamber of Commerce Southwest Chapter traveled to Kunming, China June 12 through 17, 2016, for the fourth China-South Asia Exposition and 23rd China Kunming Import and Export Commodities Fair.
Ruth Brewer, partner and founding member of the law firm Brewer & Lormand PLLC and a regional chamber board member, was instrumental in organizing the trip with the Greater Dallas Asian American Chamber of Commerce.
The City of Kunming sits in the beautiful Yunnan Province at the southern border of the People’s Republic of China, making the province uniquely situated to facilitate trade across major hubs into China. As a result, it is one of the most diverse regions in China. Known as the Spring City due to its year-round mild climate, the Yunnan Province is an agricultural epicenter. The region is also working to expand its network of railways to increase trade and growth potential.
The Dallas delegation was hosted daily at various events and dinners by key members of the Kunming Commerce and Agricultural Departments who were extraordinarily hospitable and eager to engage in fostering trade between Yunnan Province and North Texas. The North Texas delegations are graciously indebted to the Kunming Commerce Department for its leadership in establishing cross-trade relationships between China and the United States.
“The city of Kunming is a culturally rich area with incredible business opportunities,” Brewer noted.
The Chamber is eagerly anticipating the return of the Yunnan delegation to Dallas in April of 2017, yet another step in an important dialogue strengthening the relationship between the two regions.
