Jining, a city in East China's Shandong province, signed a collaboration agreement with Norin, a district of Namangan Region in Uzbekistan on Nov 3 to enhance cooperation in fields such as agriculture, energy, manufacturing, culture, and education.

Yu Yongsheng, mayor of Jining, said that the city has in recent years established close economic and trade exchanges with cities in Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries.
