at a Reception
Thursday, October 26, 2017
5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Please join the us for a very special trade community event as the Washington International Trade Association (WITA), the National Foreign Trade Council, the US Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, and others come together for a joint trade community celebration of the 70th Anniversary of the signing of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).
This reception is a one-time only trade community event. It will be held in the Pavilion at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, on Thursday, October 26, 2017, from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
This event will help pay homage to the belief of the 23 nations that signed the original GATT in October 1947 that international trade is essential to “raising standards of living, ensuring full employment and a large and steadily growing volume of real income and effective demand, developing the full use of the resources of the world and expanding the production and exchange of goods” and of course today, we would add “and services.”
