In a strategic move aimed at officially reigniting the robust relationship between Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce and the French embassy and to open significant channels of opportunities for member collaboration, the ever vibrant PHCCIMA President, Dr Chinyere Nwoga visited the French Embassy.
The visit was cordial and once again showcased the French hospitality as the PHCCIMA Lead was accorded a warm reception while meeting with French embassy officials, leaving a clear indication of the embassy’s willingness to restart the interface with PHCCIMA.
Highlights of discussions between the two bodies include:
*The decision to pursue opportunities for PHCCIMA members in a bid to access cheap fundings available through the embassy.
*Facilitate ease of travel on business and tourism.
*Encourage collaboration in terms of distributorship and agents between Nigerian and French businesses.
*Foster increased participation of members’ businesses through local content.
To further stimulate PHCCIMA’s interest during the discussion, the Port Harcourt Chamber boss requested for an interactive session between the French embassy and PHCCIMA members, a request that is being seriously considered
