An attendees perspective...
A chance encounter
It was mid-March (2018)
and I had gone to the club in midtown Manhattan for breakfast, and had been doing some work from the business center all day.
On learning about a meeting of Conservatives Abroad NYC at the WNRC 3 West 51st Street, I decided to have a look in to see what was happening. I am so glad that I did.
It was a unique opportunity to hear and meet Liam Fox, who serves as the Secretary of State for
International Trade & President of the Board of Trade, Department of International Trade, United Kingdom
gov.uk/dit
Well attended
Guests in attendance, included a noted author - Barbara Taylor Bradford, a movie producer,
financiers, bond traders, media, auction and arts professionals - from the UK, and at least one WNRC club associate, taking it all in.
Points well made
One notable takeaway from his discussion of the British economy, US trade relations and much more, was that
the UK economy is not all - or only - about the trade of goods.
International Services remains a large and growing part of the economy.
Great Britain is perfectly poised to provide a broad range of value added and specialized services, particularly in tandem with
partners in the US economy.
Its an area for growth and opportunity, well beyond what many have normally thought of - particularly in terms of international trade.
This photojournal is a project of QCS,
actively engaged in public diplomacy
