The ICC Regional Consultative Group (RCG) meeting took place in London on April 24th, bringing together representatives of ICC National Committees from across the region.

The two-day event, held under the leadership of John Denton, Secretary General of the International Chamber of Commerce, focused on discussing future challenges and shaping the ICC’s strategic direction in today’s evolving economic landscape.

The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues in person, exchange perspectives, and explore possibilities for joint regional initiatives and events.

Participants also heard about the key outcomes of WTO MC14 and their implications for global trade. Discussions highlighted the role of national committees in advancing new initiatives such as the DSI, as well as strengthening dialogue between the ICC and the European Union.

A particular highlight was the insightful summary of the working groups presented by The Lord Bilimoria CBE DL, who also hosted attendees at a reception in the remarkable surroundings of the House of Commons at the UK Parliament.

The Polish National Committee was represented by dr hab. Beata Gessel-Kalinowska vel Kalisz, prof. INP PAN, President of ICC Poland, and Bartosz Urbaniak, Head of the AgriFood initiative at ICC Poland.
