Moreover, the Chamber has been established
as a useful and valuable source of reference upon which the Government
depends as a guide in dealing with the Business Community. As the umbrella
organization of all commercial activities including Agriculture and industry,
our collective business experience is vast and the Chamber's strong relationship
with the Government in the promotion of business cannot be over emphasized.
