Dear Symposium Participants:
On behalf of the U.S. Department of Commerce, it is an honor to
welcome aviation representatives from many Asian nations to the
"1995 Asia-Pacific Aviation Symposium", March 20-23, 1995. As
Co-Chair of the Aviation and Airport Infrastructure Subgroup of
the U.S.-China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade, I am
pleased to extend a special welcome to the Chinese delgation. I
look forward to having an opportunity for further discussion on
aviation issues of mutual interest with all of the delegates.
As the future of global air transportation infrastructure
evolves and ever-increasing demands are placed on current
transportation infrastructure, the U.S. aerospace community
continues to be interested in exploring new opportunities and
developing new partnerships with Asian business and government
entities. The "1995 Asia-Pacific Aviation Symposium" presents
an excellent occasion for the exchange of ideas and further
business discussions.
Best wishes for a productive and successful conference.
Sincerely,
Ellis R. Mottur
Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Technology and Aerospace Industries
