In the evening, the delegation was received by Ningbo Mayor Qiu Dongyao on a courtesy call, and was thereafter hosted to a welcome dinner by Vice Mayor Li Guanding.
The next day saw Ningbo’s ascendant coastal and port economy showcased, as the group visited the Beilun Meishan International Container Terminal and the fully automated Maersk Meishan International Logistics Center. A briefing on the operations and investment environment of Meishan Port and the larger Ningbo-Zhoushan port’s place in the Zhejiang Free Trade Pilot Zone capped the visit.
Before departing Ningbo for Shanghai, the diplomats attended the opening ceremony of “The Belt and Road Asian Countries Exhibition 2021” organized by the ultra-modern Ningbo Library. The rites included a book donation ceremony, with Consul General Ignacio donating a three-volume book on Filipino grammar published in the Chinese-language.
