Sciaroni to Represent Cambodia at US Business Conference
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, Feb 20, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Bretton G. Sciaroni of Sciaroni & Associates will represent the Kingdom of Cambodia at the first-ever Global Business Conference hosted by US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in Washington, DC Feb. 21 and 22.
Sciaroni, senior partner at the Phnom Penh-based professional services firm, is chairman of the American Cambodian Business Council (AmCham). He has provided advice and counsel to foreign investors seeking to do business in Cambodia since 1993 and also serves as legal advisor to the Royal Government of Cambodia as well as chairman of the International Business Chamber.
"It's an honor to represent Cambodia at such a high level meeting, bringing together leading businesses and representatives from around the world to discuss ways we can work together to contribute to economic prosperity," he said.
The two-day conference will feature opening remarks by Gen. Michael Hayden ("An Insider's View of the World") and presentations by executives of IBM, General Electric and Microsoft. More than 100 countries will be represented at the forum.
The first day of the event will feature sessions on export promotion, increasing foreign investment in the United States, creating public-private partnerships, facilitating business and leisure travel to the United States, and key policy topics of interest to businesses abroad. The second day will include breakout sessions, hosted by the State Department's regional Assistant Secretaries, to discuss regional strategies to advance shared economic interests.
Sciaroni, who was nominated to represent Cambodia by the US Embassy in Phnom Penh, said the conference "is an opportunity to promote Cambodia as an investment destination among top US Companies.
"Given the fact that Cambodia is chairing the ASEAN summit this year, it's perfect timing to present the country to the international business community," he said. Sciaroni added that the Washington meeting also provides a platform to "promote the idea of a US-ASEAN business summit that is currently under active discussion."
The conference will cover general international business subjects concerning US trade policy and the potential for international collaboration.
Sciaroni, a former White House counsel, has provided investment and legal advice to multinational companies, development agencies and the diplomatic community in Cambodia for nearly 20 years. His firm of Cambodian and expatriate staff provides counsel to many of the world's leading companies who have investment interests in the Royal Kingdom of Cambodia.
In addition to serving as heads of the local business councils, Sciaroni, along with the Minister of Finance, co-chairs the Working Group on Law, Tax and Good Governance for the Royal Government of Cambodia.
While in Washington, Sciaroni will also attend a meeting sponsored by the US Chamber of Commerce to discuss Sec. Clinton's planned trip to Cambodia in July as well as the October ASEAN Economic Minister meetings.
