An oriental visit to boost business

A VISITING group of Chinese business people and members of the authorities have been in Almeria, where they held meetings with government delegate Andres Garcia Lorca, general secretary of food and agriculture Rafael Peral and members of the Junta de Andalucia regional government.

Spokesman for the group of visitors, Kou Wenjie, and Garcia Lorca discussed important deals involving exports of agricultural products and scientific investigation, the government delegate later reported.

The Peking Agricultural Department has been working for some years with Almeria’s academic and business sectors since Garcia Lorca encouraged contacts with the oriental country during his time as a professor at the University of Almeria.

While in the area, the Chinese group also met representatives from Almeria Provincial Council and the university and were shown the work of some of the province’s agricultural companies.
