Chinanews, Wuhan, November 23 – China and the US have agreed on the opening of the US Consulate² General in Wuhan, Hubei Province, based on the agreement signed in 1981.

The new Consulate-General will cover Hubei, Hunan, Henan and Jiangxi provinces, but it will not be responsible for issuing visas.

Wendy P. Lyle will be the first consul¹ general in Wuhan, and she will arrive next week.

Ms. Lyle was born in Taiwan. She was a radio announcer back home, and she can speak fluent Chinese. Several years ago, she served in Shenyang and Guangzhou US Consulates-General.

According to Cheng Huanwen, a friend of Ms. Lyle’s, she is a resolute³ and graceful⁴ lady with an easy-going personality. Quite a large number of Chinese people have heard her voice in the tapes of a popular English textbook called “English 900”.

The Wuhan US Consulate-General will be officially opened in early 2008.
