Sunday, 9-14 September 2018, PRC: Premier of Brandenburg, Dietmar Woidke was in the PRC leading a political, trade and scientific delegation in Beijing as well as the partner province of Hebei. The latter partnership was signed up during Premier Woidke’s first visit to the PRC in 2015.
On Tuesday, 4 September, Premier Woidke and his delegation travelled to Hebei, or more accurately to the province’s capital Shijiazhuang and the cities of Tangshan and Zhang-jiakou. There are ca. 300 companies from Brandenburg either already active, or planning to be active in Brandenburg.
Brandenburg Invest and the China Federation of Industrial Economics and their daughter company Cniecloud Data on their part signed a memorandum of understanding to engage more German companies hailing from Brandenburg in the Chinese “Belt & Road Initiative”, the new Silk Road. Currently there are 120 firms involved therein.
Premier Woidke and his political delegations moreover held meetings with the German foundations active in Chinese civil society, and in particular talked with them about the Chinese way in new industries.
Another important call for Premier Woidke was a meeting with the organisers of the Olympic Games 2022 to be held at Beijing. A few competitions will be also hosted in Zhangjiakou, Hebei, the partner province of Brandenburg.
