Paris,
30 September 2003
- Chambers of commerce in the French-speaking world are banding together
to form an international association aimed at strengthening business ties
among their members.
The Regional Chamber
of Commerce of Quebec Entrepreneurs (CCREQ) has accepted the task of putting
together a final agreement based on a preliminary memorandum of understanding
agreed at the recent World Chambers Congress in Quebec.
"At a time of
economic globalization, forging more and stronger links between business
people in the French-speaking world has become essential," said Diane
Déry, who chaired the Congress organizing committee.
"Chambers of
commerce in the French-speaking world have a special responsibility for
promoting business and creating business networks wherever French is spoken."
The new association
was formed at the initiative of the CCREQ and Monaco's Chamber for Economic
Development. They are to combine their own networks to enhance their services
aimed at the entire French-speaking business community.
They also plan to
develop new services aimed at improving relations between French-speaking
chambers and their members. They will encourage the spread of expertise
designed to further technological development and strategic partnership
among French-speaking companies.
The new association
will use existing structures to develop its networks, including the World
Chambers Congress - which next meets in Durban South Africa in 2005 --
and the 2004 Summit of the French-speaking World.
