Li applauded the council's contribution to the "Icebreaking Mission "of 1953, which saw the first Western trade delegation visit the People's Republic of China and started the flow of trade between China and the UK. Ding Chun, director of Fudan University's Center for European Studies, said the meeting showed the importance that China attaches to the development of Sino-British economic and trade relations, and signaled that Beijing welcomes UK investment in order to promote high-level opening-up.
