ZAGREB - The City of Sisak and the Chinese company called CIMM Group on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding on an initial investment of US$ 30 million in establishing a graphite electrode factory in that town 50 kilometres southeast of Zagreb. |
The memorandum was signed on behalf of the City of Sisak by the Mayor of the City of Sisak, Kristina Ikić Baniček, and on behalf of the CIMM Group, founder and director Ma Shujun, said in a statement. Liaoning Vice-Governor Chen Xiangqun said 43.8 million people live in the province.

"But there is also a need to emphasize strength in science and innovation," the vice-governor said, noting that after China opened, the province cooperates with more than 200 countries in the world, and that many global companies have found their place in one of the province's 14 cities. "We look forward to future collaborations.
