Chinese parliamentary delegation to visit East Java
An eight-member Chinese parliamentary delegation is scheduled to arrive here on Feb 19 for a two-day visit aimed at enhancing cooperation in the trade, investment, tourism, agricultural and educational sectors.
During their stay, the delegation led by deputy chairman of the Chinese People`s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Luo Haocai would meet with East Java Governor H Imam Utomo, spokesman for the East Java provincial administration Gunarto said on Thursday.
The meeting would focus on the construction of Chinese-funded Surabaya-Madura bridge and Chinese investment in the oil and gas drilling project in Bojonegoro, west of here, he said.
China was the fourth biggest market for East Java`s non-oil/non-gas exports last year after Japan, the United States and Malaysia.
East Java`s exports to China were valued at US$940 million last year. The exports covered copper, processed wood, iron, steel, pulp, food, aquatic products, textiles and rubber.
