On 28 July, the new All Party Parliamentary sub-group focusing on the Chinese in Britain was launched at Portcullis House, hosted and chaired by Mark Hendrick MP. He was fulsome in his support and praise for the UK Chinese community's economic and cultural contributions over the years.
The following information was released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China:
"The Coalition Agreement stated under paragraph 15 on Foreign Affairs "We will work to establish a new 'special relationship' with India and seek closer engagement with China, while standing firm on human rights in all our bilateral relationships."
Chinese Liberal Democrat Executive member Cllr Allan Siao Ming Witherick will be one of the group leaders later this month for the UK-China 400 programme visiting China with the topic "Environment and Healthy Lifestyle". This links well to Allan's other roles which include being the Shadow Cabinet member for Adult Care Services and Health in Hertfordshire and last year when he chaired the International Youth Forum on Climate Change in Korea.
The Chinese Liberal Democrats have welcomed the elevation of two new ethnic minority Liberal Democrat peers to the House of Lords, in particular Meral Ece, the Chair of Ethnic Minority Liberal Democrats.
