1. It is a real pleasure to be here to open the third meeting of our forum and to be

welcoming such a distinguished and influential group of people from both our countries, many of whom are now old friends . The forum aims to represent the strength of the relationship between our two countries outside the political relationship and looking round today it is clear that the relationship is very strong indeed.

2. It is s sign for me that the forum goes from strength to strength and I believe it is playing a

key role in the relations between our two countries as confirmed by the Prime Minister in our call on him this morning. This year, we have taken the theme “the challenge of Globalization” our meetings and discussions. This theme has a particular resonance for me.

3. On 11 September, I, along with a number of world statemen, was in Beijing to discuss china

and the world in the 21st century. None of us could possibly have known as we debated economic development, environmental change and security issues what was going to happen that day. But many of the speakers warned of the fragility of the world order. It made me realize more clearly than at any other time just how very important “understanding” between the nations of the world is.

4. Our forum, and the discussions we will have in the next day and a half, is part of this vital

process of understanding. Globalization is a challenge for all of us, both developed and developing countries and we have a lot to share and learn. As globalization increases and as

all our countries come to terms with the global reach of many industries, we can, as different nations, work together to understand the issues and effects these developments bring.

People can only grasp these opportunities. People talking, travelling, exchanging ideas and experiences. And that is what we are here today to do. Our discussions here will centre around a number of very interesting issues: trade and the environment in the globalisation of the economy , chinese culture facing the world, e-learning and e-commerce, balancing public purposes and commercial interests in the media, and China after WTO to name but a few.

As far as I can see, joining the WTO presents ha huge chanllenge for China. The requirements of joining WTO for corporate governance, for transparency and for reliable and enforceable laws. Whilst producing some pain in short term, will no doubt be part of the way in which economic growth can be encouraged and sustained. I personally am much looking forward to my own involvement in the discussions on small and medium sized enterprises.

China’s decision to embrace the dynamism of the private sector brings up the role small firms can play in achieving rapid growth and innovation. They are, and can be, a significant engine for economic development. Therefore, we have much work to do in our forum. We want to show our Chinese friends how much of a partner the UK can be but also that as a sign of a mature and true relationship, we can afford to be frank and open in our discussions with one another.

This will be particularly true in the sessions on issues of competitiveness and corporate governance that will be held tomorrow. We ate building on discussions and relationships that are already well founded and I believe that this forum will take the special role that our meeting plays in the relations between our two countries further forward.

1. In the space of a single generation, relations between the UK and the People’s Republic of

China have been transformed. Government-to-government and business-to-business links are closer and more varied than ever before. But the most exciting changes have been in the links between the British and Chinese peoples. Chinese communities have long existed as a respected and cherished presence in British cities.

2. But today , more and more British people are visiting China to see for themselves the new

dynamism of great cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. We are re-discovering China’s incomparably rich cultural heritage, as well as its immense economic potential. The Chinese are re-discovering Britain, too. We are delighted to welcome more Chinese visitors to our country each year. Many more Chinese are finding out about Britain through modern media like television and the internet.

3. Indeed , there are more Chinese people learning the English language than there are native

speakers of English in the world today. This growing relationship is measurable, too, in financial terms. British firms now have a huge presence in China, a sign of their confidence in the country and its future. The UK is the largest European investor, and a British company, BP, is investing more capital in China than any other foreign firm. The largest foreign manufacturing investment in Western China is also British.

4. The UK is China’s second largest European trading partner. British exports to China last year,

at $3.72 billion were up 17% on the year 2000. China’s exports to Britain are at an all-time high. Many Chinese enterprises now regard Britain ‘s flexible and open economy has an ideal launching pad into the wider European market. All this is a far cry from 1972, when the UK and the PRC first exchanged Ambassadors. Then, there were virtually no Chinese student in Britain. Today, there are over 20,000 – one of the largest overseas communities at our universities.

5. Then , there were no direct air services between Beijing and London . this year , more than a

quarter of a million British tourists will travel to China, then , no serving British Prime Minister or Foreign Secretary had ever visited chan. last year , there were visits from eleven British ministers. The changing nature of international relations requires governments to work ever more closely together for their mutual benefit. In the globalised world economy, the security and prosperity of individual countries often depends on events beyond our borders.

6. We are interdependent as well as independent. Challenges such as fighting environmental

damage ,ensuring global human rights are properly observed, removing barriers to trade and investment , and reducing poverty , have become truly global issues. They loom larger on the agendas of multilateral organizations like the UN, the WTO and ASEM. In the 21st century , bilateral relations between countries will depend on progress on issues like these.

7. As two of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, our government work

together on a daily basis on problems affecting every corner of the world. Another change in the relationship between Britain and China has been developments in Hong Kong. I am delighted that Hong Kong has prospered since 1997, and that “one country , two systems” is proving such an effective approach.

8. As a signatory of the joint declaration, he UK has an abiding interest in the continued

well-being of the Special Administration Region. But this is only a part of our wider commitment to China, we are increasing the resources we allocate through our department for international development to poverty reduction in China from 25m this year to 60m by 2004.

1. Good morning everybody. And welcome to the launch of our new L50, and to this

presentation . In a way, launch is no longer the correct word. Many of you have already had a chance to get to know the new car in your test drive this morning. So , i will not dwell on the technical capabilities of this car. What i would like to do is to share with you the thoughts that have gone into developing this new model so that you’ll have a better idea of why it’s such an exciting car to drive.

2. I will also talk a bit about what has been happening in our company –the direction we are

heading, our strategy, and our ambitions. After that, I’ll talk about some of the major stages in our design and development of this model. After this presentation , We’ll have lunch, which is served in the main conference hall. Our chef has promised a few surprises. I ‘m curious as you are about what these might be , but , back to the presentation.
