Chinese auditors meet with local officials in Brest

 A delegation of the Chinese State Control and Audit Department met with regional government officials in Brest on July 25.
Leonid Lemeshevsky, chairman of the Brest Regional Executive Committee, told the Chinese officials that the Brest region's good relations with Chinese provinces helped establish trade close partnership. He said that the Brest region had not sold or bought goods in China before 1995, whereas in 2001 annual trade reached $6 million. The region sells electronic goods to China and imports chemical fibers
and threads and medical equipment.
Mr. Lemeshevsky said that the Brest region could help China promote its products to Western countries. Officials at the meeting discussed possible exchange of experience between the Chinese State Control and Audit Department and the Belarusian State Control Committee.
In Brest, the Chinese delegation will visit the World War II memorial "Brest Hero Fortress" and several museums.
