Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski visited southern Chinese province Guangdong on Friday, saying he was impressed by the development of the local economy, and especially the local effort to step up education.
In his meeting with Huang Huahua, governor of Guangdong, in the province's capital city Guangzhou, Crvenkovski highlighted the importance to improve the education, expressing his hope that Macedonia could further its cooperation with the province in the arena of education.
"We have already forged bilateral cooperation in the economic and trade field and I hope to see more of that in the field of education," Crvenkovski said.
Huang agreed with Crvenkovski's proposal, saying that his province welcomes Macedonian entrepreneurs to establish business in Guangdong and will encourage local companies to invest in Macedonia.
Latest statistics showed that the two-way trade was valued at 7.8 million US dollars last year. It was 14.2 million from this Jan. to Oct., up 133 percent compared with the same period last year.
Huang suggested that the two sides should expand their cooperation in such fields as light industry and the manufacturing of electronic products.
