Washington: Dinner in Honor of the US-China Strategic & Economic Dialogue

The US-China Business Council (USCBC) co-hosted a dinner following the conclusion of the fifth joint meeting of the US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) on July 10 and 11, 2013 in Washington, DC. The event commemorated the history and importance of the dialogue in facilitating bilateral discussions on a range of commercial and political issues at the heart of the US-China relationship. The dinner provided a valuable opportunity for the new Chinese lead interlocutors to the S&ED, Vice Premier Wang Yang and State Councilor Yang Jiechi, to meet with American business executives and deliver remarks on the meeting outcomes. US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack also delivered remarks.
