Envoy urges UK's young business leaders to boost B&R

Liu Xiaoming, China's ambassador to the United Kingdom, is urging Britain's young business leaders to become champions of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Speaking at the Young Icebreakers Ninth Anniversary dinner in London on Friday, Liu said the Belt and Road Initiative was an "international consensus" and "a new platform and a new highlight of China-UK cooperation".

He noted that "the significance of the initiative is sometimes not fully understood" in Britain and explained that he has regularly written articles and given speeches on the subject in a bid to answer questions and clear up misunderstandings.
