The BCGBC in concert with the Vancouver Guangzhou Friendship Society announces its 2009 mission to Guangzhou in November.

Improving industrty relations will be a key focus highlighted by trade exhibitions and a crossdiciplinary design and planning workshop for the 2010 Asian Games.

The BC I Asia Twinning Tool Kit report was presented at the fall 2007 convention session of the UBCM by then Minister Ida Chong (Ministry of Community Services) in collaboration with the Ministry of Small Business, Trade, and Economic Development. The report put in place the context for the Twinning Project which is to support the British Columbia Asia-Pacific Initiative through:

• The establishment of robust economic twinning alliances
  
• The expansion of existing relationships between communities and regions in BC and Asia
  
• And the fostering of sustainable ties between the two global regions.
