A delegation from the metro led by MMC for human settlement Lesiba Mpya met with a delegation from the City of Sanmenxia from China, recently.<\/p>\n

The meeting was broadly in line with the metro\u2019s strategic relations with other metropolitan sister cities around the globe.<\/p>

The deputy mayor of the People\u2019s Government of Sanmenxia, Li Qinghong, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity and outlined key strategic areas of development that they have invested in their city ranging from agriculture to industrialisation.<\/p>\n

These key areas encompass priority developmental areas of the City of Ekurhuleni and speak to long-term strategic plans and projects for the metro.<\/p>

Mpya and Qinghong strongly agreed on the need to develop young people and invest in education. There was a mutual understanding that academic exchange programmes are imperative to drive cultural and skill exchange between the two cities.<\/p>\n

The overall meeting discussed possible trade and partnership relations for the future in academia, trade and overall development.<\/p>\n
