Research Triangle Park, NC, October 15, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Longistics, a full-service provider of global logistics solutions (http://www.longistics.com), has announced that it recently hosted a luncheon at the North Carolina China Center in honor of Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) business leaders. Honored guests included Yanyan Sun, vice chairman of SIP, Cindy Yin, deputy director of the SIP Investment Promotion Bureau, Jenny Zhong, chief of Euro-American division of the SIP Investment Promotion Bureau, and Charles Liu, project manager for the SIP Investment Promotion Bureau. Other guests were from the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, members of N.C. Governor Bev Perdue’s China Advisory Council, various North Carolina businesses and guests from the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School.
At the luncheon, state Senator Floyd B. McKissick Jr. (D-Durham) presented Vice Chairman Sun with a gift on behalf of North Carolina business. Afterward, the visitors from SIP toured the University of North Carolina campus in Chapel Hill, N.C., as well as the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, where they met several department heads including Dean James W. Dean Jr.
