ONE of the world’s most powerful businesswomen has visited Liverpool’s pavilion at the World Expo in Shanghai.
Ms Sun Yafang is chair of Huawei Technologies and regularly features in the Fortune 500 as one of the top 50 businesswomen.
Huawei Technologies is a leading provider of telecom services and is China's largest manufacturer of telecoms equipment, serving 45 of the top 50 global operators.
Ms Sun said she was keen to visit Liverpool having seen the business offer at the pavilion.
Oliver Hayakawa, director of the Liverpool Shanghai Partnership, said: “It is fantastic to engage with such high value and powerful individuals who have now gone away knowing so much more about the opportunities in Liverpool.
“These are exactly the sort of people we want to enthuse about the city and consider us in future for investment and business. The word has got around that Liverpool is not just exciting and fun, but a city that is serious about doing business with a fantastic offer.”
