The Dublin Chamber of Commerce and the Ireland Chamber of Commerce in the US have signed a letter of agreement intended to facilitate business relationships between their members.

Under its terms, members of the two chambers will have direct access to one another and enjoy reciprocal membership benefits. The two chambers will co-ordinate trade leads, commercial inquiries and facilitate the development of business opportunities for their members. They will also work together on programmes involving membership contacts, trade publications, trade missions and joint business development conferences and seminars.

The Ireland Chamber of Commerce in the US, established in 1988 to promote US investment in Ireland and trade between the US and Ireland, is currently in Dublin with a trade mission of 45 US-based executives.
