Twinning deals ‘can reap rewards’

ENTERPRISE Minister Micheál Martin says twinning agreements between Irish and foreign cities can reap rewards if sufficient hard work is put into them.

He was speaking towards the end of the trade mission to China.

Irish firms have confirmed some 115 million of new business with Chinese counterparts during the mission organised by Enterprise Ireland. Several more contracts are expected to be announced before the mission concludes in Hong Kong tonight.
