He said the launch of direct flights will enhance exchanges between the two cities and he welcomes Shanghai citizens to visit Dallas for business and sightseeing.
Price said Fort Worth is the second largest city in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan area and is the origin of America’s cowboy culture.
She said her city will benefit from the direct flights between Shanghai and Dallas.
The new US consul-general in Shanghai, Hanscom Smith, was present at the meeting.
