Nouvelle Alexandrie-Oportia Chamber of Commerce
The Nouvelle Alexandrie-Oportia Chamber of Commerce is a bilateral chamber of commerce that promotes trade, investment, and economic cooperation between Nouvelle Alexandrie and Oportia. Established in 1724 AN, the chamber serves as a vital link between the business communities of both nations, fostering partnerships and facilitating cross-border commercial activities.
History
The Nouvelle Alexandrie-Oportia Chamber of Commerce was founded on 7.IV.1724 AN, in the wake of increasing economic ties between the two nations. Its establishment coincided with Oportia's economic reforms following the 1721 Oportian protests, the subsequent constitutional changes, and its accession to the Raspur Pact, following its departure from the Xaiville Convention. The chamber's creation was a joint initiative by prominent business leaders and government officials from both countries, who recognized the potential for mutually beneficial economic collaboration.
Structure and Governance
The chamber is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of an equal number of representatives from Nouvelle Alexandrie and Oportia. The presidency of the chamber alternates between the two countries every two years, ensuring balanced leadership and representation. As of 1733 AN, the chamber is led by President Lucien Moreau, a New Alexandrian industrialist with experience in international trade.
Offices and Operations
The chamber maintains offices in key economic centers across both nations:
- Nouvelle Alexandrie: Alduria City, Cardenas, and Punta Santiago
- Oportia: Vanie, Port de Huile, and Kalexisse
These offices serve as hubs for information exchange, networking events, and business support services. Each office is staffed with bilingual professionals well-versed in the business cultures and regulations of both countries.

Notable Achievements
Since its inception, the chamber has played a crucial role in several significant developments in Nouvelle Alexandrie-Oportia economic relations:
