Both the ambassador and the depute provost welcomed enhanced exchanges and expanded cooperation between China and Aberdeen.

Zheng said China's embassy and consulates in the UK are willing to work with Aberdeen to create more platforms for collaboration between businesses, schools, and other sectors.

Delaney echoed the sentiment, saying Aberdeen places a high priority on its exchanges and cooperation with China and that the city looks forward to attracting more Chinese investors, tourists, and students for business, sightseeing, and academic pursuits.
