Shandong governor says huge potential for business with US

JINAN - Shandong province hopes to expand cooperation with the United States as the coastal province steps up efforts to set up special economic zones, said Governor Jiang Daming.

In an e-mail interview with China Daily before the China-US Governors Forum due to open on Wednesday in Beijing, Jiang said that he hopes to enhance relationships with US state and territorial governments.

"At the forum, I will talk with several governors, including those from Washington, Georgia and North Carolina, to seek more substantial cooperation in a wide range of sectors, especially in agriculture, services, newly emerging industries and high-end manufacturing research and development," Jiang said.
