Nicholas Liverpool, president of the Commonwealth of Dominica, arrived in Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan Province, on Thursday.

During his meeting with Liverpool, Zhang Xuezhong, secretary of Sichuan provincial committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), expressed his hope for further cooperation in the fields of economic, trade and tourism between Sichuan and the Commonwealth of Dominica.

The provincial government will encourage enterprises in Sichuan to invest in the Commonwealth of Dominica when the time is right, Zhang added.
