Among those attending were MP Sammy Wilson, PS of the Department for the Economy Ian Snowden, CEO of Invest NI Kieran Donoghue, and Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Alderman Thomas Gordon.

Consul General Li said that the establishment of the company in Northern Ireland is a vivid example of the deepening mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation between China and the UK in recent years. It is also an important outcome of China and Northern Ireland leveraging their respective strengths and deepening practical cooperation. The company’s establishment marks further expansion of the scope for cooperation and the release of greater potential.
