I am the manager of the Sheffield City Council’s Chinese project. This time I came to attend the business matching activities of the 2019 China Industrial and Commercial Enterprises Cross-border Investment and Trade event. I read the February issue of China Today with the special report on the 13th Confucius Institute Conference. Professor Sir Keith Burnett – former president and vice chancellor of the University of Sheffield-is our old friend. We agree with his views in the article “The Bridge between China and the U.K.” As he said, besides cooperation with schools that offer Chinese courses, the institute is striving to promote mutual understanding between engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs in the two countries, and to further deepen the friendship among business partners. That is what the Sheffield City Council has done and would like to push further ahead. China is a hugely important trading partner for the U.K.’s north. We have many longstanding cultural and commercial relationships.
