The objective of the Asian Trade Initiatives consistent with ITC's overall strategic plan for international trade programs, is to develop and expand trade and cultural linkages with Asia thereby strengthening Miami-Dade County's role as a global gateway community.

The Asian Trade Initiatives ad-hoc committee's mandate is to recommend to the ITC Board of Directors programs and projects that will improve and enhance trade, economic and cultural relations between Miami-Dade County and the Asian continent.

Members of the Asian Trade Initiatives ad-hoc committee shall provide maximum input and participate in the planning and selection of what countries are best suited to either develop or expand trade opportunities between the continent of Asia and Miami-Dade County. The committee will then recommend to the ITC Board of Directors what country or countries should be targeted in any one mission in any one fiscal year.
