The Consul General of the People’s Republic of China to Chicago, His Excellency Ping Huang (right), will host a group of Indiana Mayors for a first of its kind meeting and lunch at his Chicago consulate on 18 January (Monday), reports Inside INdiana Business.

Five Mayors from Indiana’s North Central Region have been invited to travel to Chicago to meet with the Chinese Consul General and his staff: Mayor Sharon McShurley of Muncie, Mayor Bruce Hosier of Portland, Mayor Wayne Seybold of Marion, Mayor Mike Fincher of Logansport, and Mayor Jason Thompson of Monticello.
