On 22 March, the Chinese Embassy in the UK held a seminar – ‘China and the UK: Working Together for a Better Future‘ to mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China-UK ambassadorial diplomatic relations.
Chinese Ambassador to the UK His Excellency Zheng Zeguang delivered a speech entitled ‘Working Together for a Better Future’. Wu Hongbo, Special Representative of the Chinese Government for European Affairs, attended and addressed the seminar online. Dan Chugg, Director for Northeast Asia and China at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, Lord Davidson of Glen Clova, Liam Byrne MP, and Sir Vince Cable, former Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills as well as the representatives from all fields attended online or in person and delivered speeches.
H.E. Zheng used three key words, namely pioneering, extension and mutual win-win, to summarise the development of the China-UK relationship over the past 50 years. Today, 50 years later, China and the UK should focus on:
– The two Countries should have a right mutual understanding of each other and deepen political mutual trust;
– The two Countries should expand on our continued cooperation;
– The two Countries should shoulder the responsibilities as 2 major countries;
– The two Countries should strengthen friendship between the people of the 2 countries
– Work together to promote the stable and long-term development of bilateral relations on the right track of dialogue and cooperation.
Mr. Edmond Yeo, Chairman of the Chinese Information and Advice Centre (CIAC), was honoured to be invited by the Chinese Embassy in the UK to represent the Chinese community at this seminar. Chairman Yeo would like to thank the Embassy for the invitation. He spoke about CIAC’s recent project to lead the Chinese community to host the welcome of Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall to London’s Chinatown on the first day of the Lunar New Year 2022. This was a good example to promote the friendship and cultural link between the people of the UK and China.
