On the morning of May 15th, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council met with the visiting delegation of the Anglo China Trade Association led by its Chairman, Gu Peiqin, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Li Qiang congratulates the UK China Trade Association on its 70th anniversary and appreciates its commitment to promoting the development of China UK relations, making historical contributions to breaking the ice in China UK trade, and playing a bridging role in long-term communication and dialogue between the two countries. Li Qiang stated that as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and two major global economies, maintaining good relations between China and the UK is beneficial to both sides and the world. China has always attached great importance to China UK relations, and is willing to strengthen dialogue, deepen cooperation with the UK, respect each other's core interests and major concerns, and promote the sustained development and stability of bilateral relations along the right track. Li Qiang pointed out that the economies of China and the UK have strong complementary advantages and enormous potential for cooperation. China is willing to close economic and trade exchanges with the UK, share development opportunities, expand cooperation in finance, new energy, biomedicine, digital economy and other fields, and carry out more third-party cooperation under the framework of jointly building the "the Belt and Road", so that mutual benefit and win-win results will always be the theme of bilateral relations. China has always adhered to the basic national policy of opening up to the outside world, will further expand market access, strengthen foreign investment service guarantees, and provide a better environment for foreign-funded enterprises to operate in China. We welcome enterprises from various countries such as the UK to continue investing in China. I hope that the UK China Trade Association and the UK business community can inherit and promote the spirit of breaking the ice, be a transmitter of friendship between China and the UK, a promoter of mutually beneficial cooperation, and a maintainer of stable and smooth industrial and supply chains, and continue to contribute to the development of China UK relations. Gu Peiqin stated that China is a major country with significant influence on the world, and the relationship between the UK and China is very important. The economic and trade ties between the two countries are very close. The UK China Trade Association supports China in promoting reform and opening up, achieving high-quality development, and is willing to continue to play a bridging role, making positive contributions to promoting the development of UK China relations and deepening bilateral cooperation.
