Yesterday three guests from Argentina including Dr. GUILLERMO A. PENFOLD, chairman of Argentina-China Institute, visited Zhongshan to promote Zhongshan’s communication with Argentina in business and culture. Han Zesheng, Vice mayor of Zhognshan City, met with the group.

“Before coming to China, I referred to many materials about cities in China, and found I’m particularly interested in Zhongshan”, said GUILLERMO. He expressed that China’s investment in Argentina is very important and that Argentina-China Institute planed to set up their first overseas office in Guangdong to promote communication and cooperation. GUILLERMO also hoped that Zhongshan would establish sister cities with Argentina.
Argentina-China Institute was established in 1980 with the headquarter in Córdoba City. The institute is the counterpart of Guangdong

People’s Association for Friendship with foreign Countries in Argentina. Han Zesheng introduced Zhongshan’s investment environment, cultural features, and expected deep cooperation between two parties in trade, tourism, and culture.
