WELLINGTON Cheap Sports NBA Jerseys , March 9 (Xinhua) -- One of New Zealand's major technology and education powerhouses is consolidating its city links with China's eastern seaboard.

The six-person delegation led by Qingdao Vice Mayor Wang Guangzheng would include Municipal Bureau of Education Vice Director-General Li Min, said a statement from the Dunedin City Council on Monday.


Li would meet with officials from the Dunedin-based University of Otago and Otago Polytechnic with a view to establishing relationships with Qingdao University and China Ocean University.


Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull said in the statement that the agreement would further strengthen the growing relationship between the two cities.

"We are now looking at collaboration in the education, tourism and business sectors. The Friendship City Agreement is an important step in further developing the relationship," he said.


In August last year, Dunedin and Shanghai celebrated the 20th anniversary of their sister city relationship Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys , which Dunedin officials have credited with giving their city a much-needed economic boost.


Donald Trump boasted on Tuesday of securing a US$50 billion Japanese telecoms investment to create 50,000 US jobs, claiming another high-stakes personal win for the economy before kicking off round two of a victory tour.


The US president-elect provided no details on the jobs or investment, which he trumpeted following a meeting with Japanese self-made billionaire Masayoshi Son at Trump Tower in New York.


The property developer, who has never previously held office and whose defeat of Hillary Clinton stunned the world Cheap NBA Jerseys From China , first tweeted the announcement, then strode into the lobby of his headquarters to brief reporters in person.


"This is Masa of SoftBank from Japan and he's just agreed to invest US$50 billion in the United States and 50,000 jobs," said Trump, standing with his arm around a grinning Son.


"He's one of the great men of industry Cheap NBA Jerseys China , so I just want to thank you very much," he added, turning to shake the Japanese magnate's hand.


"I just came to celebrate his new job," said Son, repeating his commitment and saying that SoftBank would be investing in startup companies in America.


The flamboyant tycoon brandished a piece of paper that indicated SoftBank and Foxconn Cheap NBA Jerseys , the Taiwanese technology giant, "commit to invest $50bn + $7bn in US, generate 50k + 50k new jobs in US in next four years."


Trump got into hot water last week by taking a protocol-busting telephone call from the president of Taiwan and is under increasing fire in the media for conflicts of interest between his vast business empire and taking top office.


In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Son said the money will be coming from a US$100 billion investment fund that he is setting up with Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund and other potential partners.


AIR FORCE ONE THREAT


Trump, who won the election by promising to create jobs and shake up the political establishment Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale , claimed the Japanese investment as a personal coup.


"Masa said he would never do this had we (Trump) not won the election!" the maverick Republican wrote on Twitter.

Converting twin 747-8 jumbo jets into state-of-the-art command centres by 2024 was estimated to cost US$3 billion when Boeing won the contract in January 2015.


"I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want Boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money," Trump told reporters in the first of his two rare appearances in the lobby of his Trump Tower on Tuesday.


MAD DOG


Boeing did not directly address Trump's comments or the estimated cost, but issued a statement saying that it looked forward to delivering "the best planes for the president at the best value for the American taxpayer."

The incoming Republican president resumes his unorthodox victory tour on Tuesday by traveling to Fayetteville, North Carolina Cheap Sports Jerseys , saying "thank you" to another of the swing states that swept him into office.


There, in a 10,000-seat sports arena, he is scheduled to share the stage with James Mattis, the decorated four-star Marine general nicknamed Mad Dog whom he will formally name as defense secretary.


Trump first announced that Mattis was his pick while soaking up adulation at his inaugural post-election rally in Cincinnati last Thursday Cheap New Jerseys , driving the crowd wild in another drastic break with tradition.
