From November 6 to 8， Carol Robertson Lopez， Chair Emeritus of Sister Cities International （SCI）， led a delegation to Chongqing.

On November 6， Li Mingquan， Vice President and Secretary-General of Chongqing People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries， exchanged with the delegation. He introduced Chongqing’s socio-economic development and exchanges with the United States. He stated that Chongqing has been fostering closer exchanges with “existing friends，” including its sister city Seattle， and enriching communication for a long time， while making “new friends” to foster a wider “circle of friends.” He expected Chair Carol Robertson Lopez to help advertise Chongqing and deepen the friendship between the Chinese and Americans， so as to bring win-win outcomes.

Carol Robertson Lopez indicated that the China-U.S. relations are like the left and right arms of a person， requiring coordinated development. She believed more Americans should visit， meet and know about Chongqing， a city where tradition and modernity blend together.

In Chongqing， the delegation also visited the Stilwell Museum， taking a stroll around the former residence of General Joseph W. Stilwell. They saw the Photo Exhibition on General Stilwell’s Life， and visited the photo and object exhibition of the U.S. Air Force Aid to China during World War II.

Carol Robertson Lopez said the museum comprehensively depicted the time when the United States and China fought together against Japanese fascist aggression， supported each other and claimed victory during the World War II. She believed the two countries would make larger achievements in cooperation.
