A government delegation has travelled to the People’s Republic of China to participate in the third China-Africa Local Government Cooperation Forum hosted by the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) in Beijing.
The three-member government delegation is being led by the Northern Regional Minister, Salifu Sa-eed, who is expected to make a presentation on the theme, “Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Development” after which he would interact with the business community in China.
The forum would be used to further deepen ties between Africa and China to boost trade and economic cooperation.
Mr Salifu Sa-eed is expected to seal a sister-city relationship agreement between Tamale and Jiangxi for mutual benefit.
The delegation comprises the Chief Director of the Northern Regional Coordinating Council (NRCC), Alhaji Alhassan Issahaku and District Chief Executive (DCE) for Bole-Bamboi District, Alele Veronica Heming.
They are expected back home next week.
