DESMOND A. MCKENZIE, the mayor of Kingston, Jamaica, said Thursday that he was impressed by the way Shenzhen had organized the Third China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industry Fair (ICIF).
"The economic miracle created by Shenzhen over the past two decades enables the city to host such a large-scale cultural fair," said McKenzie. "Similar cultural events have been held in Jamaica, but none of them was of the same scale. Our economy is not on the same level as that of yours."
Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, established sister-city ties with Shenzhen in 1995. McKenzie was invited to attend the ICIF last year, but couldn't make it because he was "pressed by some domestic issue." He said he plans to return next year.
"We will come next year and take the opportunity to learn, with both 'body and soul,' your experience in promoting the development of the cultural industry," he said.
