Buying group to Taiwan

The Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region will send a large buying group to Taiwan in May. The group is expected to purchase $160 million worth of products and consists of more than 100 businesses from the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. The group will head to Taiwan along with a delegation of 1,000 people as part of the 5th Conference on Guangxi-Taiwan Economic and Trade Cooperation, scheduled for May 22, said Guangxi regional government chairman Ma Biao in talks with visiting Chiang Hsiao-yen, vice chairman of the Kuomintang.

The procurement group will go to Kaohsiung and Taipei, said Sun Jianqiu, deputy director of Guangxi Regional Commerce Department. Chiang said the buying group is unprecedented - earlier delegations from the mainland went to Taiwan only to attract investment. Tourists, an art troupe and a group of traditional Chinese medical practitioners from the region will also visit Taiwan, Ma said.
