On May 4, 2023, a business delegation from the American Chamber of Commerce visited the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and met with Mr. Randy Peers, the President of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest and most influential business advocacy organizations in New York, which has been developing and promoting policies that stimulate economic development and protect the interests of its affiliated members for over a hundred years.
⠀
During the meeting, Mr. Randy Peers talked about Brooklyn, the most populous borough in New York City, the opportunities for business development, and the investment potential of the area. He also shared the mission, values, and work of the Chamber, as well as the events organized by the Chamber for its members, including Energy Summit, Annual Trade Show, Food and Industry Events, the Building Brooklyn Award, the Non-Profit Summit, and more.
⠀
The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Empire State Development and led four trade missions before the start of the coronavirus pandemic. These trade missions were held in Israel, China, Seoul (South Korea), and Japan at the FOODEX SHOW. In 2022, the Chamber assisted 20 companies in attending international trade shows such as the Winter and Summer Fancy Food shows, among others.
⠀
The Chamber’s President also gave a tour of the office to provide the delegates with an excellent opportunity to learn firsthand about the history and corporate culture of the Chamber.

*It should be noted that earlier this year, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the American Chamber of Commerce and the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce to develop bilateral trade and business relations between the United States of America and the Kyrgyz Republic.
