China trade delegation to visit Cork

A high-powered trade delegation from China will visit Cork today as part of continued efforts to forge economic and tourism links.

The delegation from the city of Xuzhou will include senior representatives from a number of large, influential companies based in the Chinese city.

The delegation, which is being hosted by Cork County Council, will also attend a business seminar hosted by the mayor of Cork.

Councillor John Paul O’Shea and the mayor of Xuzhou are due to sign a special economic agreement between the two cities later.
