Welcome by the President
December 2009
Dear Members and Friends,
As
this year draws to a close, I would like to extend
to you best wishes
for 2010 on behalf of myself and my
colleagues on the Board. Let us all hope that the
economic recovery that recently started will
continue to gather steam and momentum as we recover
from the unfortunate events of a year ago.
The Swiss-Japanese Chamber of Commerce will
celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2010.
We intend to organize two special events to mark
this occasion: our Annual General Meeting (the date
of the luncheon to be announced) as well as a Ball
at the Dolder Grand Hotel, Zurich, on the evening of
Saturday, October 23, 2010 will be highlights to
look forward to this year.
The secretariat of the SJCC will pass from the Herb
Takata Law Firm to the Peyrot&Schlegel Law Firm (Beethovenstrasse
47, 8002 Zurich). Dr. Paul Peyrot who has been
appointed by the Board will succeed Martin Herb as
Managing Director as of January 1.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank
Martin Herb for his most competent endeavors to
further the interests of the Chamber and his help in
promoting the manifold relationships between
Switzerland and Japan. The Board joins me in
thanking him
... more
Sincerely,
Henry Wegmann
President
