Minister WAN Gang Meets with British Ambassador to China

On 12 June 2007, Minister WAN Gang of Science and Technology met with Sir William Ehrman, British Ambassador to China. Ambassador Ehrman briefed the Minister on the development of China-UK cooperation in science and innovation and expressed the desire of the British Government for furthering cooperation with China.

Minister WAN Gang remarked that Innovation China UK (ICUK) is a very good idea, which will boost the commercialization of scientific research projects, getting them ready for investment and combining research with economic development. At the working level, he said, since there is difference between the institution of China and that of UK and other EU countries, the cooperative partners of both sides will need running-in, yet they should definitely keep up.
