On 28th July, President Li Xiaolin of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) met with H.E. Ms Barbara Woodward, British Ambassador to China in British Ambassador’s Residence. The two sides have extensively exchanged views on the Second China-UK Regional Leaders Meeting, the two countries’ all-dimensional exchanges and cooperation, and hotspot issues of common concern to both sides.

Ambassador Woodard thanked the CPAFFC for the strong cooperation in a lot of ways, particularly jointly organizing the Inaugural China-UK Regional Leaders Summit, and helping arrange the British high level visits. She looked forward to making the working relationship with the CPAFFC more stronger, deeper and more fruitful, especially to organizing the Second China-UK Regional Leaders Meeting later this year.

President Li thanked the British Embassy in China for its support to the CPAFFC. She is ready to work with the UK to promote mutual understanding and mutual learning between the two countries and deliver more practical cooperation results in all sectors.

CPAFFC’s Vice President Mr Song Jingwu, Deputy Director General of the European and Asian Department, Mr Shen Xin and Ms Zhang Ruoning attended the meeting.
