"FINA is very excited to sign with CNSG for FINA's most prestigious annual diving rendezvous and I have no doubt that this partnership will further enhance diving visibility in China - the powerhouse of the discipline for many years now. Given CNSG's experience within the sports industry, it is an ideal and trusted partner for FINA."
CNSG Chairman Zhang Lizeng commented after the partnership's announcement today:
"It is a great honour for CNSG to cooperate with FINA. Definitely, CNSG will gain brand promotion and exposure as title sponsor of the FINA Diving World Series.
