Working meetings between Canadian and Chinese companies offered as trade mission visits Toronto

PBB Global Logistics is arranging for a major multi-sector trade delegation from Hubei Province, China, to visit Toronto for one-on-one meetings with dozens of area businesses. This one-of-a-kind forum will take place at the Regal Constellation Hotel, 900 Dixon Road, Etobicoke on October 18, 2001.

This Chinese trade mission is one of the largest to ever come to Canada. The delegation includes 80 company and government officials, and is being led by. Su Xiaoyun, vice governor of Hubei Provincial People’s Government.

Hubei Province is the economic engine of Central China, with major industries in hydroelectric power generation, metallurgy, machinery, chemicals, automobiles and textiles. Hubei is also known for its strong research sector, particularly in laser, fiber optic communications, bioengineering and new materials.
