Port of Antwerp agrees tie-up with China’s ICBC

Antwerp Port Authority has agreed a tie-up with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) in a bid to boost trade.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed last week at the official opening of the ICBC’s Antwerp branch in Brasschaat Castle.

Both the port authority and the bank said they plan to seek new opportunities that match the One Belt One Road strategic plan launched by China in 2013.
