 “The first batch of Aba shoe-makers will depart Abia for China in the next one week, for training,” he said. Chairman of the company, Zhang Huarong, said he was in Abia to seal the deal which started during the governor’s visit to his shoe factory in China and described Abia as a calm environment where business can thrive.
