Zhou Bin, the president of Phoenix Publishing and Media Group (PPMG), and his team met with the delegation from Essex on Jan 10, 2015, and discussed further cooperation and collaborative models.

Peter Manning, director of Essex’s International Trade Department, expressed his desire for further cooperation with PPMG and agreed to help PPMG to exploit resources in Essex and the three counties in the east of England and to support PPMG to expand its international market.

PPMG will boost cooperation with Essex in tourism and culture. PPMG has given collaborative projects, negotiated last December, top priority in 2015, covering Chinese-British cultural trade, and education, Zhou said.

Senior leaders of PPMG and Essex’s government agreed to exchange visits once or twice every half year, and PPMG’s subsidiaries will have regular meetings with the Essex local government.
