  • Expect lively discussions and interruptions; agendas are loosely followed and meetings may run long.
  • Be patient with the pace of negotiations and note that meetings may include coffee breaks for informal conversation.
  • Thank participants with handshakes and send a personalized follow‑up email or letter after the meeting.
  • Schedule meetings two to three weeks in advance and arrive early in formal attire.
