国际英语新闻:Industrial zone delegation from China sets up office in Bratislava

BRATISLAVA, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- Hi-Tec Industrial Zone representatives from the province of Hebei in China set up an office in Bratislava on Tuesday.

According to the officials, the representation should facilitate mutual cooperation in these areas and the search for new investors.

Setting up the official representation was made possible thanks to close cooperation between Slovak company United Industries and the Association's successor, which began ten years ago. The cooperation has led to the establishment of several joint businesses focused on wine-making and tourism.

Chair of the board of United Industries Eduard Sebo said at the ceremonial opening that a "Zhongjie Nitra wine-making complex" has been set up in China and a subsidiary company called Slovak-Chinese Vineyards in Slovakia, while the Central-European Travel Agency based in Bratislava with a branch in China develops activities in the field of tourism.
