U.K. Foreign Office Minister Hugo Swire launched the new British Consulate General in Wuhan, which will open there later this year as part of the U.K. government’s efforts to promote British business in China and to deepen the trading relationship between the two countries.
Speaking after the launch, Mr. Swire said, “I’m delighted to mark the opening of the first new British Consulate in China in 14 years. We have made a concerted effort to increase the number of staff we have in China, to increase the number of Mandarin speakers, and now to expand our network. This is important, long-term planning for the U.K.’s international future.
Wuhan itself currently has over 10,000 construction sites and will be opening a new underground line every year for the next five years. It is vital that Britain gives itself access to the major opportunities that are emerging in these rapidly growing cities and engages with the increasingly influential decision-makers who live within them.”
