Li Keqiang and Lord James Sassoon, President of CBBC

CBBC had the honour of meeting with Li Keqiang as part of the Symposium on the 70th Anniversary of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) on 19 May 2022 at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing. During the symposium, Li expressed his appreciation for the contributions of foreign business organisations like CBBC in supporting China’s response to the Covid pandemic.

The year before, on 6 July 2021, CBBC hosted a virtual meeting with Li Keqiang, joined by prominent UK business leaders representing CBBC member companies.

In the presence of delegates from some of the United Kingdom’s largest corporations, Li stated, “Britain is committed to multilateralism and free trade, and China shares this commitment. Whatever problems there are, we can always work them out through dialogue.”
