On 31 October, Jónína Bjartmarz, Chair of the Icelandic-Chinese Trade Council (ÍKV), led a delegation to the Yuhu Cold Chain (Chengdu) Trading Centre for talks on trade cooperation.
The delegation comprised more than 20 entrepreneurs from agriculture and fisheries, industry, services, and import and export trade. They were accompanied by Liu Quansheng, President of the Sichuan People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, together with representatives of the Chengdu People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and relevant departments of the Qingbaijiang District Government. During an on-site tour of the Trading Centre, the delegation spoke highly of Yuhu Cold Chain's modern facilities, professional operations, and standardised management system.

During the exchange, Jiang Wensheng, Chairman of Yuhu Cold Chain (Sichuan), briefed the delegation on Yuhu Cold Chain's strategic positioning and nationwide network. He also covered the role and operational strengths of the Chengdu park. Yuhu Cold Chain is committed to building an international food trading platform that integrates import and export trading, cold chain warehousing, and processing and distribution, he said. Working through the Icelandic-Chinese Trade Council, the company hopes to build closer communication and collaboration with businesses in Iceland and the wider Nordic region. Together, they aim to drive high-quality development in regional trade and distribution.

The delegation said it hopes to draw on Yuhu Cold Chain's strategic presence across Greater China, so that supply chains connect efficiently and each side's resources complement the other's. The two sides will build more convenient cross-border cold chain trade links and deepen cooperation with Nordic trade organisations and businesses. They will bring premium food from Iceland and other Nordic countries into the Chinese market, while helping Chinese specialty foods reach international markets. The aim is mutual benefit and fresh momentum for the region's open economy.
