Ireland seeks more links with Chengdu

There is great potential for cooperation between Ireland and Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan province, in fields such as culture, tourism, pharmaceuticals, and green technology, Ireland's Ambassador to China Ann Derwin said on Friday.

Derwin made the remarks at the opening ceremony of Irish artist Niamh Cunningham's art exhibition and workshops in Chengdu.

The art exhibition, themed "The Memory Palace of Tree Stories", displays 26 artworks by Cunningham that tell the stories of trees of various shapes and types from places including Ireland, the Czech Republic, Beijing, and Chengdu.
