AmCham President John Tully outlined the Chamber’s vision and highlighted key achievements. He said, "Over the past year, AmCham has been dedicated to strengthening transatlantic and bilateral economic ties, advancing Latvia’s business and investment environment, and fostering the development of its human capital. We remain committed to advocating for American investors, prioritizing transatlantic trade and investment, with a special focus on key areas such as security and defense, digital innovation, human capital, and favorable tax environment."
