The U.S. Chamber is unmatched in its advocacy efforts on the international stage, and that work starts right at our historic headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Each year, we host dozens of heads of state and senior officials from around the world. We also represent the American business community at multilateral gatherings, including the Munich Security Conference, the UN General Assembly, APEC, and COP.
As the voice of American business for more than 112 years, world leaders know the Chamber is the place to discuss investment, innovation, trade, and economic growth.
The International Affairs Division champions the interests of American businesses abroad and helps companies navigate geopolitical risks. We help government leaders understand the needs of business and support smart policymaking. And we help companies deal with legislation and regulations impacting their business. Our proactive stance ensures that American businesses are well-represented in critical discussions and negotiations, from combating discriminatory regulations to influencing trade policies.
In 2023, the Chamber hosted more than two dozen heads of state and government and 500+ other senior officials, including ministers, ambassadors, and other leaders from governments around the world. Learn more in the Chamber’s 2023 Annual Report.
