Lord Sassoon, President of the China-Britain Business Council commented:

“We all know that the past few years have seen tremendous challenges to the context for UK-China relations, not least in developments in the global economy. Nevertheless, our member companies and CBBC are making every effort to ensure that British businesses can continue to succeed in China.

We hope to see more visits by delegations from the UK to China in the upcoming months to foster engagement at this critical time for the bilateral relationship.”
