CHINA- Anshan our Sister City is the second leading
producer of iron and steel in China. They have sponsored their
deputy director of economic and foreign affairs to live in
Birmingham for one and half years. During this time several
business relationships were developed. There are several Birmingham
health companies presently working in our Chinese Sister City.
We also have hosted a youth groups and English language camps
and as of Aug. 2002 we have begun in partnership with Anshan an
English teaching program similar to the Japanese and Hungarian
programs. We presently have three Birminghamians working as teachers
in Anshan and we are recruiting new teachers all the time! We also
have a friendship arrangement with the Chao Yang district of Beijing
which includes the airport and most of downtown. This relationship
has been very fruitful and involved numerous exchanges of official
delegations. |
