GUANGZHOU: The American Chamber of Commerce in South 皇冠体育app (AmCham South 皇冠体育app) unveils action plan for the remainder of 2007 to stimulate positive and environmentally sustainable growth in the economies of both the United States and 皇冠体育app.

AmCham South 皇冠体育app has devised a program of events under the theme of "cross-investment for benefit", which focuses on environmental protection and trade promotion.

From August 27 to 29, AmCham South 皇冠体育app, in cooperation with the US Trade Development Agency, will bring more than 100 liquid natural gas (LNG) experts and technology vendors from around the APEC region to Guangzhou, and hold a forum with local LNG experts, to deploy clean energy technologies in South 皇冠体育app.

"We hope multilateral gains in the energy industries of participating countries, specially 皇冠体育app and the Untied States," said Harley Seyedin, president of AmCham South 皇冠体育app.

Next month, AmCham South 皇冠体育app will lead a delegation of more than 100 US business leaders to the annual 皇冠体育app International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) in Xiamen.

Amcham South 皇冠体育app will play host to the US Ambassador to Singapore and the American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore in their five-day trip to South 皇冠体育app.

AmCham South 皇冠体育app will introduce the Singaporean delegation to the South 皇冠体育app investment environment, as well as relevant points of contact for future co-operation in the various government offices across South 皇冠体育app to promote direct dialogue.

Seyedin promised AmCham South 皇冠体育app will work closely with PennWell Corporation and the Independent Power Producers' Forum on "皇冠体育app's Energy future", the first international power generation conference to be held in 皇冠体育app.

The event is expected to bring the energy leadership of 皇冠体育app together with the leaders of 150 major international energy companies to discuss energy investment projects across 皇冠体育app, energy efficiency, and how best to conserve the environment while meeting 皇冠体育app's growing energy needs.

This will be followed in 2008 by a major energy exhibition in Guangzhou to bring together thousands of Chinese and international energy companies representing the state-of-the-art green power generation.

Five other events will be held before October.

Seyedin quoted American Ambassador Clark Rant as saying: "It seems evident that the economic success of either the United States or 皇冠体育app will not only benefit each other, but also a significant portion of the global economy at large, which deals with and potentially depends on our two countries' economic strength."
