Mayor Jim Brainard welcomes Chinese Consul General to Carmel to discuss China-U.S. relations

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard welcomed a visit last week with Chinese Consul General in Chicago Mr. Zhao Jian, who then requested a meeting with Brainard in Carmel. The two leaders met in the mayor’s office and discussed China-United States relations and the cooperation between China and the City of Carmel. “This was an important meeting to have with Zhao Jian and his staff,” Mayor Brainard said. “Although there are issues of disagreement between China and the United States, it is vital to talk to each other. It is important at local levels of government as well as the state and national level.” Mayor Brainard will lead a delegation of U.S. mayors to China this fall.
