To note changes to the Lord Mayor’s Overseas Engagement Strategy.

POLICY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE

(Catherine McGuinness, Deputy)

21 September 2017

Overseas Engagement

The Policy and Resources Committee was responsible for any policy decisions on the City of London Corporation’s overseas engagement activities. A review of the City Corporation’s international engagement had recently been undertaken which had identified the strategic priorities for influencing policy/regulation and supporting trade and investment. These priorities had now been reflected in a draft travel schedule for the Chairman of Policy and Resources and the Lord Mayor for 2017/18. It was anticipated that engagement would now be more strategic, joined-up and complementary.

Resolved – That the report be received.
