Irish Chamber of Commerce China Committee Members Jo McFarland, Stephen Graham and Rowan Heaphy had the wonderful opportunity to meet with Cork County Council over the last few days to discuss what we’ve been up to recently, as well as getting the opportunity to learn first hand about the growing relationship between County Cork and Jiangsu Province, our neighbours here in Shanghai.

The delegation headed by Mayor of Cork County Cllr. Joe Carroll had visited Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu to deepen the links between the two regions! Many thanks to John Forde and Lee Wah Pay of Cork County Council for their continued work and support.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a successful trip to Shanghai without getting in a rooftop view!
