Since its inception in 2002, the Asia Desk at WORLD TRADE CENTER San Diego(WTCSD) has served as the Asian business link for local San Diego companies.  A resource for information, communication and connections, its success is uniquely attributed to the vision and support provided by sponsors such as the County of San Diego. 

The role of the Country of San Diego is to facilitate and maintain activities and programs that improve the economic health of the region and the quality of life of residents. The County carries out its economic development activities in association with, or through, regional and sub-regional public/private-sector entities. This includes cooperative efforts with the City of San Diego and other agencies on regionally beneficial programs dealing with topics such as international trade.

WORLD TRADE CENTER San Diego (WTCSD), the County of San Diego, and the local business community recognize the importance and impact of international trade with Asia. In response, WTCSD created Asia Desk, the only Asia-dedicated resource center of any California World Trade Center.

Craig Allen, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Asia, visited San Diego from March 15-16, 2012. His visit included an informal roundtable discussion at WORLD TRADE CENTER San Diego (WTCSD) on Thursday, March 15, 2012. The topic discussed was, “Washington’s Perspective on U.S.-China Trade.”

With twenty-seven years of international trade experience, Mr. Allen was qualified to speak on a variety of topics. Mr. Allen mainly talked about IPR, investment, and government procurement. He encouraged American companies to take advantage of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s local resources in China, such as the U.S. foreign commercial service offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Shenyang.

The roundtable was a successful event and Mr. Allen was well received by participants. Asia Desk at WTCSD looks forward to hosting more roundtable discussions in the future.
