City leaders will be postponing their trip to China for the Global Mayor’s Forum.

According to representatives of the GMF, due to matters beyond their control, the 2014 Global Mayors Forum will not be held in November as initially planned. Torrance Mayor Patrick Furey, who received the City Council’s approval to travel to China this fall to attend the annual meeting will have to wait until the following year. The council unanimously approved the $5,000 expenditure from the city’s Economic Development Fund. A new date has not yet been set.
