Luncheon with HM Trade commissioner Chris Barton

The British Chamber of Commerce in Latvia is pleased to offer an exclusive opportunity to attend a luncheon with His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner (HMTC) for Europe, Chris Barton CMG.

This is a rare opportunity to meet such a high-ranking official visiting Riga and Latvia, the only one of the three Baltic countries being visited. During the luncheon, there will be an opportunity to learn about the official’s ‘view from London’, reflect on the general economic situation and export matters, as well as discuss DBT priorities and ask any other questions of interest.
