On the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Indonesia and the United States, the International Council hosted several events with Consul General Madame Listyowati to discuss the US-Indonesia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and its relevance for Illinois farmers and manufacturers. We engaged in private exchanges with Individual members on trade and investment facilitation and specific inbound and outbound opportunities. On December 18th, we celebrated a Business Forum where Consul Listyowati proudly announced that the Indonesian Consulate had joined the Chamber and was now a Global Partner of the International Council.
