Two German initiators of the DIHT-ACFIC Partnership Project
visited China from July 10 to 16 on invitation of ACFIC. Geerd Woortmann,
director of the DIHT Training Department, and Walter Kiefer, senior advisor and
former general manager of SEQUA, met in Beijing with ACFIC president Jing
Shuping and executive vice president Zhang Xuwu as well as representatives of
the ACFIC Liaison Department. Woortmann signed an agreement with ACFIC to extend
the first phase of the project until February 29, 2000. Negotiations about a
second project phase will start later this year.
Woortmann and Kiefer participated in a chamber workshop
organized by the Shenyang General Chamber of Commerce, and paid visits to the
chambers of Liaoning province and Qingdao city in Shandong, where they also met
with private entrepreneurs. The two leaders expressed satisfaction about the
progress of the project and suggested to further intensify mutual exchange of
information.
