Chinese trade mission to Łódź

Chinese companies, operating mainly in the high-tech sector, are interested in cooperation with Polish companies. More than 100 businessmen representing 57 companies from the province of Sichuan arrived in Łódź as part of a trade mission on Friday.  "The Chinese delegation is interested in the project that has been carried out in Łódź for two years, that is the cargo railway connection Łódź-Chengdu. Łódź is a gateway to Europe for China, mainly for its Western part. We want to create an industrial park and attract investments, both from China and from Europe, which would create workplaces and produce goods to be exported to China," said Witold Stępień, marshall of Łódzkie voivodeship. 

The Chengdu-Łódź railway link was established in April 2013.
