Luxembourg Minister for Sustainable development and Infrastructures visits China
Luxembourg Minister for Sustainable development and Infrastructures François Bausch visited Beijing and Zhengzhou from January 21st to 23rd. Minister Bausch and Civil Aviation Administration of China executive, Li Jiaxiang, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on January 21st concerning the air traffic rights between the two countries. "This is the next step to give Cargolux abilities to combine Zhengzhou with other cities in China, and also to combine Zhengzhou with the United States", said the Minister. Having flown to Zhengzhou since June last year, the company has previously not been able to continue flights from there to the United States, as this is normally not allowed for foreign aircraft. Bausch argues this newly obtained possibility means a lot for Cargolux's competitiveness for different markets in the context of an increasingly globalized world. Francois Bausch, continued his 3-days visit to China by meeting the Party Secretary of Henan Province, Guo Gengmao, who reiterated the determination of Chinese authorities to ensure the success of Luxembourg – Zhengzhou’s Dual Hub strategy. After the meeting, Paul Helminger, Chairman of Board of Directors of Cargolux, and Guo Hongchang, General Secretary of the government of Henan, jointly signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the development of economic relations between the two parties. On January 23rd, Mr. Bausch attended the opening ceremony of the HNCA e-commerce platform in Zhengzhou.
