Sino-UK business website launched in London

2004/05/15

Visiting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and British Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott jointly launched a Sino-British business website on May 10, in a bid to further boost economic and trade cooperation between the two countries.    

The website, developed by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and launched under the help of China-Britain Business Council (CBBC), aims to offer a platform for both Chinese and British business circles intending to invest and do businesses in each other's countries, Yu Xiaodong, Director General of the Economic Information Department of CCPIT, told Xinhua before the launching ceremony.   

"Businessmen registered in both CCPIT and CBBC from both countries from now on can have an access to all kinds of trustworthy, reliable and authentic information concerning investment opportunities and products supply chains," said Yu.   

He said the businessmen in both countries could read information in both English and Chinese on the website through a HS customs code system which can change product names automatically, and that information including commercial seminars, trade and industrial delegation visits, as well as trade exhibitions, can also be found on the website.
