Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull is about to travel to China, to build closer local government ties and discuss economic development.

He's participating in the first mayoral forum between New Zealand and China, following agreements reached last year.

The forum will focus on growing tourism, education and primary industries in both countries.

Ten other New Zealand mayors are involved, set to build relationships with their Chinese counterparts.

Dunedin's long been a sister city to Shanghai, where Cull will also do business while in China.

He'll be accompanied by Enterprise Dunedin director John Christie.
