After a long day of meetings, briefings and roundtables, delegates finally got a chance to have a drink (or two) with Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) and his wife Gayle at the Monacle on Capitol Hill. The Wickers have a particular interest in China as their son is currently studying Chinese in Shanghai. The Senator also serves on the Foreign Relations Committee’s East Asia and Pacific subcommittee. Midway through drinks the Senator had to run back to the floor to cast a vote but was nice enough to return and continue the visit afterwards. We hope to have the chance to welcome Senator and Mrs. Wicker in Shanghai sometime soon.
