Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng is to visit Taiwan in early April. Han, who has been invited by his counterpart in Taipei, will be there to promote World Expo, which kicks off in Shanghai in May.
Han, leading a delegation that will include the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, will arrive in Taiwan on April 6.
Han's visit is expected to serve as another boost to cross-strait ties after Liang Baohua, the head of the Communist Party in east China's Jiangsu province, led a delegation to Taiwan last November.(Source: AFP, Mar 6, 2010).
