A delegation led by Jing Junhai, governor of Northeast China’s Jilin province, visited the United Kingdom from May 22 to 25 to further cooperation.

The two parties held a meeting on economics and trade during the delegation’s visit.

Jing said at the meeting that it was a great time for Jilin province and the UK to strengthen cooperation as China and the UK are currently in the process of strengthening their relationship.

Jilin is an ideal place for investment as it is rapidly developing in a number of key industries, including the advanced equipment manufacturing and modern agriculture industries, Jing added. He expressed hope that more UK companies would invest and establish operations in Jilin.

The Jilin delegation participated in several economic and trade activities during their four-day visit, discussing cooperation with UK entrepreneurs.

During their visit, representatives from Jilin province signed several cooperation agreements with British companies involved in things like automobiles, ice and snow sports, tourism, and pets.
