UK visa service highlights bilateral ties

Britain's Princess Anne witnessed on Tuesday how hard the British embassy is working to woo Chinese visitors, as a Chinese athlete obtained a visa for the United Kingdom in a matter of minutes.

Embassy officials visited the training site of China's national track and field team, with sprinter Su Bingtian being given his UK visa, enabling him to attend the International Association of Athletics Federations World Championships in London next month.

Princess Anne observed the whole process and talked with Su.
