Visit launched thriving 'Golden Era'

Xi's historic 2015 UK trip continues to bear fruit, ambassador says

Almost two years ago, President Xi Jinping made a historic state visit to the United Kingdom, heralding a "Golden Era" for China-UK relations.

That visit, from Oct 19 to 23 in 2015, at the invitation of Queen Elizabeth II, was a milestone because its significance extends well beyond our times, said Liu Xiaoming, China's ambassador to the UK, ahead of the visit's two year anniversary.
