Minister Han Changfu met with Ms. Kim Reynolds, Governor of Iowa of the U.S., in Beijing on 25 July 2017. The two sides exchanged views on promoting bilateral agricultural cooperation.
Minister Han noted that the MOA and Iowa share solid foundation for agricultural cooperation. He hoped that the two sides could continue working together to explore new areas and ways of cooperation. He suggested that the two sides identify and work on a number of cooperation areas and projects that require intensified efforts from both sides and facilitate two-way investment between agricultural businesses.
