BBN Staff: A team of business persons from a number of companies in the United States arrived in Belize, Thursday, March 17 for a trade and investment meeting which opened last Friday, at the Placencia Hotel & Resort. 

The 15-member trade and investment mission is here to discuss investment and trade opportunities with private sector and government officials.
