A delegation from Taiwan, comprised of Lee Chin-Tarn, dean of the College of Management at National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) and members of Council for Industrial and Commercial Development (CICD), visited Nantong city in Jiangsu province from August 9 to 11.

Ding Dawei, Party secretary of Nantong municipal government welcomed the delegation and voiced his wish that the visit can bring new opportunities for cooperation between Nantong and Taiwan in economy, culture and education. Nantong will continue to offer Taiwan investors a sound investment environment and favorable policies, according to Ding.
