Ningbo Vice Mayor Wu Hemin urged continued economic cooperation between Milwaukee and the highly industrialized Chinese port city during a trade conference in Milwaukee Tuesday.
Through a translator, Wu highlighted the advantages Ningbo offered in terms of free trade areas, manufacturing and transportation infrastructure, a business-friendly regulatory environment, and quality of life amenities. The pitch went to a group of about 100 at a hotel near the airport.
The day-long event included presentations on several aspects of the Ningbo economy, a presentation about Milwaukee by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, lunch and a networking session.
Wu, along with a delegation of 30 Ningbo officials and business leaders, is in Milwaukee for a week-long trade mission. Yesterday, Wu presented the city with a gift of two stone lion statues, which are now placed at the entrance to the Zeidler Municipal building. The delegation is to attend a China-U.S. water symposium in Milwaukee on Friday.
