IPC Announces Keynote Speaker for Management Council Meeting
August 9, 2005 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BANNOCKBURN, Ill. — Grant Aldonas, formerly undersecretary of commerce for international trade for the Bush administration, will deliver the keynote address, "The Dynamics of U.S. and China Trade Relations: A View from the Front Lines," at the IPC Management Council Meetings on October 18, 2005 in St. Petersburg, Fla. A key player in U.S. and China policy relations, Aldonas will provide a firsthand account of such trade negotiations and explain why current policies exist. Attendees will discover how China's social and political dynamics shape their negotiations with the U.S. and the challenges that the U.S. has faced in negotiations. He will also address the U.S./China trade imbalance complexity and the realities of creating a "level playing field."
"The U.S. can't merely flip a switch in terms of fixing U.S./China trade relations, but through Grant's keynote, we're given an insider's view of what's being done in the near term to alleviate competitive pressures on the U.S. manufacturing sector," says John Kania, IPC's director of government relations. "This is a rare opportunity to hear the facts from a direct participant in U.S./China trade negotiations."
