Chinese Journalists Accompany Business Delegation to Luxembourg

On Friday 12 September 2025, a delegation of representatives from Henan, China, visited Luxembourg for a series of meetings with government ministers and business representatives and was accompanied by journalists from the Henan Broadcasting System (HBS).

According to the journalists from HBS, the delegation from Henan Province are in Luxembourg for a series of meetings with Claude Wiseler, President of the Chamber of Deputies, several government ministers, CEO of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, Julie Becker, and Chairman of Cargolux, Tom Weisgerber, among others.

The journalists also noted that the Henan delegation will sign new cooperation agreements in aviation and manufacturing during their visit.

Chronicle.lu: What is the purpose of the visit of the Henan delegation to Luxembourg?

Liu Chan: The main objectives of the visit for the delegation are to meet with representatives from the Chinese banks based in Luxembourg and to sign a series of business agreements with Cargolux.

Chronicle.lu: Where have you visited in Luxembourg as part of your visit?

Liu Chan: Today we visited the Bank of China offices, met with a number of ministers from Luxembourg and visited the Chamber of Deputies, where we met with Claude Wiseler. This was significant as several years ago Mr Weisler went to Zhengzhou to sign an agreement with us. We also visited Cargolux, where the business delegates from Henan signed agreements with Cargolux and we attended meetings between the delegates and business representatives from Luxembourg in the Grund area of the city.

Chronicle.lu: What places will you be visiting for the remainder of your time here?

Liu Chan: We will visit some of the other Chinese banks and will attend a meeting with Luxembourg’s Minister of the Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism, Lex Delles, who has said he would like to visit Henan at some point in the future.

Covering an area of 167,000 km², Henan is the third most populous province in China, with more than 100 million inhabitants.

Since late 2023, a direct commercial passenger flight between Luxembourg and Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan, has been in operation, serving as an important air bridge and facilitating trade and cultural exchanges between Henan and Luxembourg.
