More than 125 people participated in the forum and deepened their exchanges by individual negotiations between Henan business people and Luxembourg delegation.

Henan is the birthplace of Chinese civilisation with over 3,000 years of recorded history, and remained China's cultural, economic, and political center until approximately 1,000 years ago. Today, with its location of the central plain, Henan Province becomes China’s logistics hub, Henan is the 5th largest provincial economy of China and the largest among inland provinces.

Since the establishment of the relation between HNCA and Cargolux in 2013, the exchanges between the province and Luxembourg have become more frequent and meaningful. During last visit of the Vice-governor of the province on August 2017, the Luxembourg business community has learnt that ‘Win Henan is win China’, just as the Chinese people’s understanding of ‘Win Luxembourg is win Europe’.
