Jilin province says it wants to have closer business relations with European countries so it has sent a delegation, led by the provincial Party secretary, Bayinchaolu, to visit the Netherlands, France and Germany, May 17-24.

It has also announced the signing of a cooperation agreement on automobiles, petrochemicals, food, and natural gas, worth 21 billion yuan, to make good on its idea on closer relations, and making Bayinchaolu into something akin to a traveling salesman, glad-handing and peddling Jilin's economic and investment offerings.

In making the rounds, he has met with policy makers, business people, and the CEOs of major companies.

The following are photos from his meetings:
