Commerce Minister of China Chen Deming visited the World Trade Center site on September 22, joined by officials in charge from the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and the WTC project.
Minister Chen inquired in detail about the WTC rebuilding project, including the overall plan, project financing, investment opportunities, construction progress and the function and completion date of the towers. Minister Chen also commented on the stable development of China-US trade and economic relations, which has seen the establishment of a number of bilateral dialogue mechanisms including JCCT and SAED.
