On May 16th, 2023, China General Chamber of Commerce-USA was honored to serve as a “Patron Level” sponsor of FMC’s Annual Statesmanship Awards Celebration.
For more than twenty-five years, the awards celebration has recognized outstanding individuals and organizations who exemplify courage, commitment, passion for furthering democracy, and who have demonstrated a life-long dedication to service.
The Statesmanship Awards are bipartisan and given to Democratic and Republican Members of Congress to recognize their distinguished Congressional service and commitment to improving the lives of others.
This year, a Lifetime Achievement Award was given to the family of late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to recognize his decades of work to strengthen the U.S.-Japan relationship.
Additionally, the ceremony honored four members of congress: Senator John Cornyn, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and Congressmen Ami Bera and Mike McCaul.
Several members of CGCC attended this year’s reception which celebrated the 40th anniversary of FMC’s Congressional Study Group on Germany, the 30th anniversary of their Congressional Study Group on Japan, and the 5th anniversary of their Congressional Study Group on Korea.
