PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan -- Governor Jose Alvarez and other local officials welcomed here recently the visiting delegation of 45 elite businessmen and industrialists from China for a two-day exploratory trip that ended Wednesday.
Provincial Information Officer Gil Acosta Jr. said Thursday that the delegation from Jiangsu province, who arrived on September 12, constituted the core of the Jiangsu Association of Friendship for International Exchange (JAFIE), a group of top business personalities and industrialists led by its president, Teng Yong.
“The governor said that we are glad they visited the province and that we look forward to return their good gesture soon,” Acosta said.
For his part, Yong reportedly expressed deep appreciation to the provincial leadership for the warm reception they received from the local hosts.
“We are looking forward to fruitful cooperation between Palawan and Jiangsu in the future. Palawan is rich in natural resources. We have expertise in infrastructure development, industrial zone development, fisheries development as well as e-commerce and we are looking forward to sharing our knowledge and expertise to the people of Palawan,” the JAFIE delegation head was quoted saying.
The officers and members of JAFIE visited the province to consult with local officials regarding the fishery industry, as well as to promote bilateral friendship and cooperation among the people of the two provinces.
Among the topics discussed were possible cooperations on Fishing Port and Fisheries Cooperation, International Education, and Tourism Cooperation.
Included in the itinerary of the Chinese delegation was the familiarization tour to the Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) on their second day.
The visit of the Jiangsu businessmen started with a fellowship night that opened through the singing of the national anthems of the two countries, where the visitors were treated to a performance of the Capitol Chorale.
Acosta said the fellowship night ended with a “community singing” of a Chinese popular song by the Capitol Performing Group. (PNA)
