SHANGHAI Mayor Yang Xiong received a delegation from the city of Cork in Ireland, led by Lord Mayor Chris O'Leary, last week.

Yang said this year marks the 10th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Shanghai and Cork. The two cities enjoyed fruitful cooperation in the exchange and training of public servants as well as culture and education.

Yang remarked on the similarities of both cities and said he hopes Shanghai and Cork can expand cooperation for mutual development.
