B.C.'s Minister of Community Services Ida Chong will be in
China Nov. 17-27 to promote twinning opportunities between local
governments in China and local governments in British Columbia. She
met with Vancouver media to brief them on her trip.
Twinning is a key element of the government’s
Asia Pacific Initiative to reduce costs and increase trade between
North America and the Asia Pacific region.
The Community Services ministry recently released a Twinning Toolkit
to support local governments in building “sister city”
relationships.
