Chinese Trade Mission to Visit Toronto
Working Meetings Between North American and Chinese Companies Offered

Fort Erie, Ontario - September 4, 2001 - PBB Global Logistics, a leading integrated logistics provider, is arranging for a major multi-sector trade delegation from Hubei Province, China, to visit Toronto for one-on-one meetings with dozens of area businesses. This one-of-a-kind forum will take place at the International Plaza Hotel, 655 Dixon Road, Mississauga on October 18, 2001.

This Chinese trade mission is one of the largest to ever come to Canada. The delegation includes 80 company and government officials, and is being led by Mr. Su Xiaoyun, Vice Governor of Hubei Provincial People's Government. PBB's Corporate Travel experts have been entrusted by the Hubei delegation to arrange all its travel and meeting details.

Hubei Province is the economic engine of Central China, with major industries in hydroelectric power generation, metallurgy, machinery, chemicals, automobiles and textiles. Hubei is also known for its strong research sector, particularly in laser, fiber optic communications, bioengineering and new materials.

Canadian companies interested in participating in one-on-one discussions with mission delegates are encouraged to contact PBB Corporate Travel at 1-800-665-2978 or download and complete a registration form at www.pbb.com/china. This forum is free of charge to Canadian companies and offers them the unique opportunity to meet with high level industry contacts and build the personal and professional relationships that are critical to succeeding in China. The event is supported by Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters and Ontario Exports Inc.

The company is currently planning China Trade Mission 2002, a privately-led trade delegation that will visit several Chinese commercial centers in the spring of 2002. PBB's China Trade Mission 2002 is a must for executives, new business managers and export development professionals looking to access this burgeoning market for the first time or to expand existing trade networks.
