Asia House Chief Executive Michael Lawrence spoke as guest of honour at the 96th Ostasiatisches Liebesmahl, the annual dinner of the German Asia-Pacific Business Association (OAV), held at the city hall of Hamburg, Germany, on Friday 4 March.
Other speakers included Hamburg’s Mayor Olaf Scholz, Chairman of the Asia-Pacific Committee of German Business Dr. Hubert Lienhard, Chief Executive Officer, President and Member of the Corporate Board of Management Voith GmbH and OAV Chairman Hans Georg Frey.
The speakers all gave their views on the latest developments in the Asia-Pacific. Chief Executive of Asia House Michael Lawrence also outlined two scenarios of what would happen if Britain left the EU and how that might impact trade relations with Asia.
Since its foundation in 1900, the OAV has become a leading network of German companies with interests and activities in the Asia-Pacific region. The Liebesmahl has been held every year since 1901 and brings together 350 business representatives, politicians and diplomats from Asia and Germany.
