Chapter 1561: The City of St. Petersburg

In mid-September 03, a large delegation boarded a special plane to the Russian city of St. Petersburg.

The goodwill delegation was headed by Liu Jun, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee of province A and secretary of the Yulan City Party Committee, and its members included Zhong Yongming, executive vice mayor, Niu Qianjian, secretary of the Yangchuan District Party Committee, Qi Shouyi, secretary general of the municipal party committee, director of the office of the municipal party committee and government, director of the foreign affairs office of the provincial government of province A, deputy director of the provincial department of commerce, director of the Yulan City Bureau of Commerce, director of the industrial bureau, and full-time Russian translators and reporters appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In fact, the composition of the delegation was also very unsatisfactory to some people.

Since you are visiting sister cities, the city government should arrange a few more places. Xie Yuan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, also wanted to take this opportunity to go to Russia to relax and taste the exotic customs. Anyway, such a visit, to put it bluntly, is a publicly-funded tour, and it is justified. The diplomacy of the private sector and local governments has always been an important part of China's diplomatic front.

It stands to reason that Mayor Li Tao is the representative of Yulan City to the outside world, and the sister city should not leave him behind.

However, when the list of personnel was determined, Liu Jun was all arbitrary, and he never even went to the Standing Committee to discuss it, but after the list was determined, he was relieved at the Standing Committee, and Liu Jun simply arranged the work during his visit to St. Petersburg. disregarded the rules like this, which made Li Tao, Xie Yuan and others very dissatisfied.

Xie Yuan even revealed this dissatisfaction to Tai Weiqing, hoping that he could intervene. Speaking of which, in addition to being able to "travel" for free to enjoy exotic customs, Xie Yuan cares more about a name. With Liu Jun's "tolerance" of her and Li Tao, Xie Yuan also gradually pulled up his own team in the city, and gathered a group of cronies around him. The pleasure brought by power made Xie Yuan very obsessed. Therefore, Secretary Xie is more and more concerned about her "prestige", she wants to be a veritable third-in-command in Yulan City!

This "tourist delegation" not only did not have her name, but even Liu Jun did not consult her at all, which made Xie Yuan feel embarrassed and very unhappy.

However, this time, Wei Weiqing did not stand up for her, but only told Xie Yuan that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a clear request, and the composition of the delegation was all approved by Liu Jun, and he hoped that the provincial party committee and provincial government of Province A would give full cooperation and support.

It is not that the foreign ministry ministers are above the secretary of the provincial party committee, but the foreign ministry is in charge of matters on the diplomatic front, and the provincial party committee and the provincial government must respect the opinions of the foreign ministry.

Speaking of which, Liu Jun's visit to St. Petersburg was a bit abrupt. Prior to this, no invitations had been sent out by St. Petersburg. According to the usual analysis, Antonina has just taken office as mayor of St. Petersburg, and she needs to focus on straightening out the team, and foreign affairs are not the focus of her attention for the time being. Under such circumstances, Antonina suddenly sent an invitation to visit Magnolia City, and named her name and asked Liu Jun to lead the team, which seemed unusual.

Tai Weiqing estimates that there should be more in-depth reasons for this. But what the reason is, even Tai Weiqing doesn't know. On the diplomatic front, secrecy is very important, and the success or failure of the negotiation is really true! In this case, Tai Weiqing and the Provincial Party Committee of Province A must fully support Liu Jun.

You can't get into trouble just because Xie Yuan is "unconvinced". It can also be seen from that list that Liu Jun selected cadres that he can absolutely trust. It seems that Liu Jun also does not want any mistakes in this visit to Russia. Liu Jun's idea is also reflected in the charter plane.

The city of Magnolia is now advocating strict economy from top to bottom, and more than 20 people who have traveled to St. Petersburg will certainly be much cheaper to take a plane than to charter a special plane. But this time, Secretary Liu did not hesitate to instruct to charter a special plane. It can be seen that it is also to ensure the success of this visit.

At 4 p.m. local time, the plane arrived safely in St. Petersburg.

For Liu Jun's visit, the city of St. Petersburg gave him a very high courtesy. The new mayor Antonina personally led all the deputy mayors of the municipal government to the airport to greet him. Alongside Antonina was Andrei, the special representative of the President of Russia, the deputy head of the president's office.

On the Pulkovo No. 1 airfield in St. Petersburg, a bright red carpet was rolled out, and Russian national actors in costumes danced cheerful folk dances. Two young Russian boys and girls presented flowers and garlands to their distinguished guests.

Yoo Jun smiled and shook hands with Antonina, Andrei and other dignitaries of St. Petersburg one by one. Secretary Liu's fluent Russian surprised the dignitaries in St. Petersburg, only Andrei looked as usual, and when he shook hands with Liu Jun, he said very politely: "Your Excellency, Mr. President wants me to greet you on his behalf." Mr. President said that he had visited Magnolia City many years ago, "and had a very pleasant exchange with His Excellency the Secretary, which was a good memory. Mr. President is sincerely pleased with His Excellency the Secretary's visit to St. Petersburg and hopes to meet with His Excellency the Secretary as soon as possible and have another friendly exchange. "Your Excellency the Secretary is fluent in Russian, and it is estimated that Mr. President has informed Andrei.

Yoo Jun smiled and thanked him, and asked Andre to convey his greetings to Mr. President, saying that he was looking forward to the meeting with Mr. Sodeok.

Generally speaking, a young person in a prefecture-level city in a neighboring southern country could not have been able to come to the meeting in person with Mr. President, but Liu Jun is definitely an exception. The relationship between President Ivan and Secretary Liu is not the main reason, at least not the main reason. The key is that Liu Jun is the son of the prime minister of the republic and the brightest rising star in the political arena of the republic. According to the analysis of Russian intelligence, the young man, Liu Jun, is very likely to become the top leader of the powerful southern neighbor at some point in the future.

For such a politician with unlimited potential, the highest day of any country must be dealt with 12 points of spirit. This can also be seen from the attitude of the embassy of the republic in Russia.

Last year, the secretary of the municipal party committee of a republic also visited St. Petersburg, and the embassy sent only a minister-counsellor and a consul general of the consulate in St. Petersburg to meet him at the airport. This time, however, it was Mr. Zong Baoguo, the ambassador to Russia, who personally greeted him at the airport. Zong Yaoguo is a hexagram ministerial-level ambassador.

The mayor of St. Petersburg, Antonina, is a 54-year-old woman of Russian ethnic mild hair with blond hair. According to the data, the Russian female politician is also a legend.

Antonina was born in 1949 in a small city in Ukraine. After graduating from the sanitary school, he entered the Leningrad Institute of Medicinal Chemistry. When Antonina graduated, she didn't have a job at a pharmacy or a hospital. In 1972, Antonina began her political career in the regional Komsomol. Starting from an ordinary functionary, he gradually grew up to become the first secretary of the Communist Youth League of the Leningrad region, and in 1984 he entered the party of the ** region of the Soviet Union. A few years later, at the age of 40, Anthony Chan became the chairman of the Women's Council of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. Antonina then entered the diplomatic corps and became the Soviet ambassador to Malta. It should be said that the Soviet Union gave Antonina everything, magically turned her from a quasi-pharmacist into an official of the Komsomol, and pushed her into the diplomatic prison as a cadre in charge of women's issues. By the time Antonina returned from Malta, the USSR had disappeared from the face of the earth. Still, Russia needs her. In the 90s, Antonina spent a leisurely time in Malta and Greece, away from domestic political strife and gradually seeing who would dominate Russia's future. Upon her return, Antonina entered the Russian government and was soon promoted to the rank of deputy prime minister. Anthony Chan, who was closely united around Ivan, survived all political storms and eventually became the guardian of Ivan's hometown of St. Petersburg.

In order to make Antonina the mayor of St. Petersburg, Ivan took great pains. In the mayoral elections in the city of St. Petersburg, Ivan openly expressed his support for Antonina's candidacy. However, even with Ivan's support, the mayoral election still went through two rounds. At that time, some media commented that Ivan supported Antonina and made himself wear the hat of "influencing local elections", and lost a lot of popular support.

In December this year, elections will be held in the Russian State Duma, and in March next year, Ivan will face another presidential election. At this time, the loss of popular support is undoubtedly a very disadvantageous thing. Ivan's unstinting support for Antonina is not only out of the need to take control of Russia's second-largest city, but also because of the importance he attaches to Antonina. This tall and athletic-looking Russian woman must have something special about it, and she deserves Ivan's attention.

Xiaoqing also analyzed with Liu Jun on the phone, at this time, Ivan definitely needs more support from all sides, including the support of Weiye Group. At such a critical moment, Ivan clearly did not want anything to go wrong. Yoo Jun can make good use of this opportunity and try his best to achieve the day of this trip.

Antonina, dressed in a moon-white professional skirt with a full face, expressed a warm welcome to Yoo Joon's arrival, and at the same time expressed surprise at Yoo Joon's youth.

She was once an important leader of the CPSU, and the officialdom system of the southern neighboring countries is not unintelligible. It is unimaginable for a young man like Liu Jun, not to mention in the republic, but also in Russia right now, to be the number one person in the provincial capital.

Secretary Liu made a written preface at the airport, and Antonina, Andre and others listened solemnly.

After the welcome ceremony, the group boarded the car and drove to the city.

PS: Friends, the chrysanthemum is coming! Poor and pitiful!!

At present, officialdom has become the "public enemy" of other works in the urban category. As far as your officialdom is concerned, you always occupy the first and second positions in the urban classification, how can people be convinced? Everyone is rushing to the officialdom.

Actually, I don't dare to say to others, as far as pies are concerned, these monthly tickets and rankings are really "hard" to get. What if I, like most authors, update three chapters a day or even less, and see if I can get so many monthly passes? I have insisted on the high update volume for so long, and I have been updating it for 16 months, with an average of 101,000 words per day, no credit and hard work! Old friends can't bear to watch the pie being blown up? Please lend a hand and help the pie!
