Mayor Jim Brainard welcomed a visit last week with Chinese Consul General in Chicago Mr. Zhao Jian who requested a meeting with the Mayor in Carmel. The two leaders met in the Mayor’s office and discussed China – United States relationships and the cooperation between China and Carmel.
“This was an important meeting to have with Zhao Jian and his staff. Although there are issues of disagreement between China and the United States, it is vital to talk to each other. It is important at local levels of government as well as the state and national level,” said Mayor Brainard.
Mayor Brainard will be leading a delegation of U.S. mayors to China this fall.
