S-a luat decizia organizarii acestor activitati economice prin Agentia de Dezvoltarea Regionala a Transilvaniei care sa asigure un cadru organizat pentru stabilirea contactelor si a explorarii oportunitatilor de afaceri zonale.

Nu doar intalnirile politice si economice au ocupat agenda vizitei diplomatilor in frumosul Maramures, vizite la toate monumentele UNESCO din regiune au fost cuprinse in program.

Vizita a avut numeroase momente de destindere intre care enumeram un mic dejun la 2.000 de metri altitudine, dupa o vizionare cu telescaunul a zonei Suior , o plimbare pe sky-jet unde ambasadorii si-au demonstrat abilitatile de conducatori infruntand zapada si participarea la dansuri populare.
