Reciprocal visit

Maritime UK will draw on the successes of its very recent trade mission to Shanghai by organising a ‘China Day’ during the forthcoming London International Shipping Week 2017 (LISW17), due to be held in Britain’s capital from September 11 to 15.

The ‘China Day’ event will focus on issues related to trade with China and give participants an opportunity to understand more fully, market trends and business opportunities. 

UK Government and Maritime UK used the Shanghai trip to invite a delegation of 30 Chinese Government and industry officials to attend LISW17, including the Governor of Pudong, Mr Hang Yingwei, who received an official and personal invitation from the UK Trade Minister, Mark Garnier.

Visiting delegates are likely to come from the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Human Resources' Maritime Professional Division; the region of Pudong; as well as representatives from the Maritime Finance & Excellence Center in Shanghai.
