Zhao Zhengyong, governor of Minnesota’s sister state Shaanxi, led a delegation to Minnesota on April 13 and 14 to meet with newly elected Governor Mark Dayton. While here, the delegation also visited preeminent Minnesotans and Minnesota organizations including former Vice President Walter Mondale, 3M, the U.S.-China People’s Friendship Association, and the University of Minnesota. While at the University, Governor Zhao toured campus and met with Associate Vice President and Dean of International Programs Meredith McQuaid.
The sister state relationship between Minnesota and Shaanxi was established in October 1982. Shaanxi is perhaps most famous for the “Terracotta Army” discovered in the city of Xi’an and exhibited all over the world.
