CEBU Province signed a sisterhood pact with China’s Fujian province last week, which is seen to boost investments and tourism cooperation. Cebu Gov. Hilario P. Davide III signed the agreement with Fujian Gov. Tang Dengjie, who was accompanied by the mayors of the cities of Nan’an, Putian, and Quanzhou. Nan’an and Putian are also set to establish friendship city ties with the cities of Mandaue and Danao, respectively. “I am confident that this friendship will propel us forward into sharing knowledge and resources to further spur economic growth in our respective provinces,” Mr. Davide is quoted in a statement. Over the previous weekend, a Cebu delegation led by Mr. Davide went to China for the 20th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT), where the governor also signed a memorandum of understanding with Fujian for the joint promotion of the building of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road between the two provinces.
