Vice Minister CAO Jianlin met with the ITS Japan delegation headed by Chairman Shoichiro Toyoda on October 9, 2007.

Shoichiro Toyoda commented on the rapid development, improved traffic condition, and new impression of China during each visit. Since ITS could play an important role in reducing traffic congestion, conserving energy resources, and improving the environment, he hoped the 14th ITS World Congress could bolster the China-Japan exchanges in ITS.

During the meeting, VM CAO extended welcome and gratitude to Chairman Toyoda for sponsoring the Congress, and appreciated his personal efforts in promoting China-Japan exchanges.
