New York, NY - June 17, 2024 - American Industrial Acquisition Corporation Chairman L. M. Levie will attend the 51st Annual Global Plenary Meeting of the Trilateral Commission in Brussels, Belgium from June 21-23, 2024. The Trilateral Commission is a nonpartisan forum consisting of 400 political, academic, financial, and business leaders who meet, under Chatham House rules, to discuss global economic, political, and security trends and issues. The North American Group of the Trilateral Commission includes a maximum of 87 U.S. members, 20 Canadian members and, since 2000, 13 Mexican members.
Mr. Levie commented, “The world is grappling with political unrest, prolonged armed conflict, climate change, and social anxiety triggered by disruptive, rapidly advancing technology. This complex landscape requires careful analysis and dialogue. It is crucial for diverse academic, business, and governmental leaders to candidly exchange ideas to promote stability, economic development, environmental stewardship, democracy, peace, and the ethical use of technology.”
ABOUT THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION
The Trilateral Commission is a nongovernmental international organization aimed at fostering closer cooperation between Japan, Western Europe and North America. It was founded in July 1973 principally by US, European, and Japanese leaders who sought to address the challenges posed by the growing economic and political interdependence between the U.S. and its allies in North America, Western Europe, and Japan.
The Trilateral Commission is headed by an executive committee and three regional chairs representing Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region, with headquarters in Paris, Washington, D.C., and Tokyo, respectively. Meetings are held annually at locations that rotate among the three regions; regional and national meetings are held throughout the year. Most gatherings focus on discussing reports and debating strategy to meet the commission's aims.
The Trilateral Commission represents influential commercial and political interests. As of 2021, there were roughly 400 members, including leading figures in politics, business, media, and academia. Each country within the three regions is assigned a quota of members reflecting its relative political and economic strength.
