Minister For Jobs Begins Trade Mission To China
Minister for Jobs Richard Burton has begun a five-day, four-city trade mission to China, aimed at supporting jobs in Ireland.
The Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland mission involves a total of 36 Irish companies, and comprises 44 meetings and events in four cities – Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzen and Hong Kong.
Among the programme is included:
• 21 meetings and events aimed at supporting increased exports by Irish companies to China
• 6 one-on-one meetings with multinational companies considering investments in Ireland
• 7 engagements with media, aimed at communicating Ireland’s economic story in the countries involved
Speaking before departing, Minister Bruton said: "This will be my fourth trade mission to China in just over four years in office, reflecting the importance of this market for Ireland, both as a source of foreign direct investment and as a destination for our own Irish exporting companies.
"I look forward to a productive week helping Irish companies to develop relationships with the Chinese State Agencies and companies who might buy their goods and services, and meeting Chinese companies considering investing in Ireland. I am confident that out of this week we can deliver concrete results in the form of additional jobs in Ireland."
