Bolivia: Attracting Investment with Ambassador James Thornton

Canning House is delighted to welcome HE James Thorton, British Ambassador to Bolivia, to give a round-table briefing on investment opportunities in Bolivia, and the Bolivian government's plans to attract more FDI.

Following on from the UK-Bolivia Trade & Investment Forum 2016 which is due to take place on 9th June and represents the highest-profile engagement that the Government of Bolivia has undertaken in the UK, the initiatives that the Bolivian government and Embassy here in the UK are taking show a commitment to increasing international trade and investment.

He served as Head of Political Section in the British Embassy in Mexico City. He was British High Commissioner in Lusaka until August 2015.
