Han expressed his confidence in deepening cooperation between the two port cities.

"With development of cross-straits ties, exchanges between Shanghai and Kaohsiung are more frequent than before," he said.

Shanghai and Kaohsiung started chartered flight in 2003 and direct chartered flight last year. "It brings our two cities closer," Han said.

Chen thanked Han for the help to her promotion, and expressed her wish for the success of the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai.

She said that she expected more exchanges with Shanghai in tourism development.

Chen Chu arrived in Beijing on Thursday, where she met with mayor Guo Jinlong. She flew to Shanghai Saturday afternoon.
