Beijing Yizhuang, Beijing, 2024-06-04 08:53
On the morning of June 3, Kong Lei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (Beijing Yizhuang), met with Jack Perry, Chairman of the UK 48 Group Club, and his delegation to discuss matters related to international economic and trade cooperation between the two parties.
The UK 48 Group Club, founded in 1954, has long been dedicated to promoting Sino-British economic and trade exchanges and cultural interactions, with significant influence in business, culture, and academia. In April this year, Chairman Jack Perry and his delegation made their first visit to Beijing Yizhuang, expressing their intention to cooperate with Beijing Yizhuang in areas such as biomedicine and artificial intelligence.
Kong Lei welcomed Jack Perry’s return visit to Yizhuang, stating that as an important window for the capital’s reform and opening up and a pioneer in high-quality development, Beijing Yizhuang has introduced a series of policies to support foreign-funded enterprises and foreign trade in recent years. These policies have yielded positive results in expanding international cooperation and promoting external exchanges and cooperation. He hopes both parties can establish an effective communication mechanism, hold regular meetings to expand cooperation intentions, and work on establishing cooperation funds, international incubation platforms, and setting up overseas NGO entities, to deepen and solidify friendly cooperation. Beijing Yizhuang will fully leverage its advantages in space, policy, and services, combined with the development of the region’s leading industries, to promote the implementation of a batch of cooperative achievements, create more opportunities and conditions for enterprises in the area to expand international markets and carry out international cooperation, and contribute to new achievements in Sino-British economic and trade cooperation.
Jack Perry introduced the various works carried out by the 48 Group Club in recent years. He stated that Beijing Yizhuang is an important stop for the club to expand various cooperation and investment in China. The friendly attitude and unique regional positioning of Beijing Yizhuang left a deep impression. He hopes to fully utilize the resource advantages of both parties, deepen and expand cooperation fields, inherit and carry forward the “Icebreaking” spirit, and work together as “Icebreakers” to find more possibilities for establishing a long-term cooperation mechanism and seeking long-term Sino-British development.
Deputy Director of the Management Committee, Zheng Haitao, attended the meeting.
