Global information services company Wolters Kluwer, Netherlands, recently welcomed a Chinese delegation with representatives of prominent institutions in Chinese publishing. CEO Nancy McKinstry met with Tan Yue, President of China Publishing Group Corporation (CPGC), Yu, President of Commercial Press, and other executives to discuss their shared vision and perspective on the growth of the Chinese market and customers’ needs.
Wolters Kluwer signed a strategic alliance with CPGC at the London Book Fair. According to the agreement, Wolters Kluwer will bring a wide range of professional content to China, providing the Chinese professional community with world-class expert information and digital workflow solutions. CPGC can export and publish Chinese content through Wolters Kluwer's global network. The two parties will also expand cooperation in digital product sales.
Last September, at the Beijing International Book Fair, Wolters Kluwer signed a similar agreement with CPGC’s subsidiary, the Commercial Press, to present its publications to the international market through Wolters Kluwer. Meanwhile, the Commercial Press has started to introduce a series of Wolters Kluwer publications in translation to Chinese readers.
Also at the 2011 Beijing Book Fair, Nancy McKinstry was appointed by the Chinese State Council Information Office to become a member of the Foreign Consultant Committee. This Committee aims to promote the collaboration between local and global publishers to link China with the rest of the world.
