New consulate general opens in Shenyang

Today, Germany and China celebrate 40 years of diplomatic relations, and tomorrow a new chapter in this partnership will be opened with the establishment of a new German consulate general in Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning province.

This fifth German consulate will be in charge of the three northeastern provinces of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang.

Like the existing consulates in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Hong Kong, this official representative office will not only provide services for German citizens living within its purview but also strive to enhance relations and foster common progress in such areas as investment, commerce, ecology, vocational training and education, culture and tourism.
