The rūnaka is developing relationships with the city of Shanghai, as part of Dunedin’s 21-year sister city relationship. Dunedin is one of Shanghai’s favoured sister cities, and there has been a steady stream of visitors this year looking at education, business and tourism opportunities.
The latest visit was from the standing committee of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, who were interested in food safety and environmental protection.
The rūnaka is working with the city to advance ideas for further cultural and economic benefit through this relationship.
