Strengthening Sino-US Sister City Ties

San Francisco and Shanghai, the first sister cities to establish a friendly relationship between China and the United States, have continually worked towards the "San Francisco Vision." They have jointly promoted over 200 cooperative projects across various industries. Events like "Shanghai Week in SF" and "SF Week in Shanghai" have become significant cultural exchange bridges.

Notable attendees of the welcome ceremony included SFglobal Executive Chair Zhao Cuiwei, San Francisco-Shanghai Sister City Committee Chair Huang Fan, small business representative Chen Zhanming, Chinatown Chamber of Commerce President Shao Qiqian, and Asian Pacific Historical and Cultural Foundation Chair Zheng Kexin. Together, they marked a new chapter in Sino-US economic cooperation.

MEBO Group's Role in Cultural Integration

Since the successful meeting between the leaders of China and the United States in San Francisco during APEC week in November 2023, both sides have reached a consensus on the "San Francisco Vision." MEBO Group, headquartered in both China and the United States, exemplifies new types of friendly relations between the two countries. The company significantly contributes to promoting cultural integration, facilitating mutual visits, enhancing local community development, and advancing mutually beneficial economic and cultural opportunities.

On the same day, Li Li represented MEBO International as a board member of the Bay Area Council at the exclusive California-Shanghai Business Luncheon. Held at the Bay Area Council's headquarters on the Klamath, this event aimed to strengthen regional cooperation and promote economic vitality to tackle global challenges collectively.
