On the afternoon of November 23, Mayor Ding Chun met with the delegation headed by HE. Dr. Abdulrahman Alshaikh, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs (MOMRA) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, at the Administration Center. The two sides exchanged ideas about the program of rebuilding the Saudi Shanghai World Expo 2010 Pavilion (also known as the "Moon Boat") in Changzhou.
