The Lord Provost’s visit to Shenzhen came at a time when cultural and business exchanges between Edinburgh and Shenzhen, two sister cities, are gaining momentum.

爱丁堡市长此次深圳之行恰逢爱丁堡与深圳这两座友好城市间文化交流和商业合作日益活跃之际。

During the visit, Aldridge and his delegation participated in the 20th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair (ICIF), toured various locations and visited several high-tech firms.

此次访深，阿尔德里奇率爱丁堡企业代表团参展了第20届中国（深圳）国际文化产业博览交易会（简称“文博会”）。他们还参访了一些深圳文化创意机构和高科技企业。

A day before the ICIF’s opening, Aldridge met with Shenzhen Mayor Qin Weizhong. The Lord Provost emphasized that Edinburgh and Shenzhen have complementary industries where the two cities can seek closer cooperation.

在文博会开幕前一天，阿尔德里奇与深圳市市长覃伟中进行了会面。爱丁堡市长强调，爱丁堡和深圳产业互补，两座城市可以在这些领域寻求更紧密的合作。

In an interview, he said that the ICIF serves as a platform for Edinburgh firms to explore potential partnerships and business opportunities in China and beyond.

在接受媒体采访时，阿尔德里奇表示，文博会构筑了一个桥梁，使爱丁堡企业得以探寻中国乃至全球范围内的潜在合作伙伴和商业契机。

“We have 10 companies who are coming to present [at the ICIF]. They are all looking for more contacts, more opportunities in China and beyond, and also to have partnerships with Chinese companies,” Aldridge said.

“此次我们有10家爱丁堡企业参展文博会。这些公司都在积极寻求扩大其在中国的联系和商机，同时也期望能够与中国企业建立合作伙伴关系。”阿尔德里奇说。

Liz McAreavey, chief executive of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, was equally enthusiastic about the fair and highlighted the importance of building friendships and exploring trade opportunities.
