Testimonials
"
AmCham Mongolia provides an effective conduit between Wagner Asia and other U.S. companies operating in Mongolia, the U.S. Embassy in Ulaanbaatar, various U.S. Government affiliates, and the Government of Mongolia. Our membership with AmCham has provided an effective mouthpiece for issues that, as a single private foreign investor, we cannot or may not wish to voice ourselves. Monthly Meetings are a useful forum for support, AmCham supported conferences and exhibitions are a cost-effective way to promote our products and services, and AmCham White Papers provide a roadmap for achieving business goals that will help U.S. companies develop business in Mongolia. Steve Potter, Managing Director, Wagner Asia Equipment LLC
