Li's UK visit marks commitment to bilateral ties

Premier Li Keqiang's recent trip to the United Kingdom has played a significant role in boosting bilateral relations, top business leaders from the UK said on Tuesday.

Li's visit has "created the conditions for some timely and significant investment as the UK economy returns to growth, and highlights the appeal that the British economy and its businesses have internationally and with China in particular," Simon Davies, managing partner of Linklaters, a multinational law firm headquartered in London, told China Daily.

"I was delighted to meet with Premier Li and was impressed by his dedication and vision to strengthen Sino-British relations - something I firmly believe is in the interest of both countries," Davies said.
