Yunnan governor Wang Yubo meets with Californian treasurer Fiona Ma in central Yunnan’s Kunming city on September 5.

“I hope that through this visit, Ms. Ma and I could jointly carry forward exchanges and cooperation between Yunnan province and California state in trade, investment, agriculture, education and tourism, contributing to the healthy development of Sino-US relations,” said Yunnan governor Wang Yubo on September 5.
