August 26-28, 2009: To offer U.S. Consulate General Wuhan’s support to the Sino-American Rail Transit Cooperation Seminar in Wuhan on August 27, 2009, Consul General Lyle warmly greeted a delegation of 11 U.S. companies led by the U.S. Embassy Commercial Section’s First Secretary Gwen Lyle, and thanked Wuhan Municipality, represented by Vice Secretary General Liu Jiaxiang and China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Wuhan Sub-council, for their support.

Working side-by side with Gwen Lyle, the Embassy’s First Secretary for Commercial Affairs, and Roger Luo, Commercial Representative from the Embassy , Consul General Lyle provided information on the current status of Consulate services, achievements and challenges, and the overall investment climate in central China, which has promoted flourishing commercial ties between Wuhan and the U.S. The Chinese presenters from Wuhan Railroad Bureau and Wuhan Metro Group made in-depth reports on current transit projects and how U.S. companies could serve as partners. The U.S. companies took turns to introduce their respective products and services to the Chinese officials.

With cutting edge technology and top-of-the-line services, the American rail transit industry has been a reliable partner in the development of China’s rail and metro sectors. Many American companies are major investors in the Chinese rail transit industry, and some of them already have invested or established partnerships in Wuhan. The seminar offered an excellent forum for American companies to make direct contact with Wuhan officials and better understand how to win Chinese transit contracts. 80 % of the U.S. companies attending the seminar are Fortune 500 companies. They are GE Transportation, Greenlee, Lord, Motorola, Wabtec，Caterpillar, Dow Chemical，Accenture, Alcoa Fastening System, United Solar Ovonic and Beijing Railway Retail Management Company.

American and Chinese participants shared a memorable moment before the seminar
