Delegation members including financial, energy, education and business about four cabinet ministers and senior leaders of 50 business sector, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the rate of most large scale, most luxurious visit team.

Of course, the purpose of this trip, Cameron is very clear. "We take on an important trade mission. "Cameron said," our message is simple and straightforward: United Kingdom now for trade attitude very open, and you want and China relations can more closely. ”

9 October, Premier Wen Jiabao at the great Hall of the people held talks with Cameron. The two leaders on major regional and international issues, it was agreed that both in promoting world peace and development has a broad common interests, shouldering important responsibilities, will strengthen the United Nations Security Council, 20 g, the World Trade Organization and other international organizations and mechanisms of communication and collaboration, and more effectively respond to challenges. After the talks, the two leaders together to witness the signing of the bilateral cooperation documents.

In December 2005, only 39-year-old Cameron became the leader of the conservative party, the United Kingdom in 2010, the United Kingdom held elections, conservative and liberal coalition officially appointed as Prime Minister, Cameron.

As the United Kingdom since 1812 the youngest Prime Minister since, Cameron also reflects the EU's main national politicians "generational change" in the process, and its predecessor, Brown, Cameron has a temperament from individuals to the international perspective of significantly different.

In the 2008 financial crisis at the time of renewal, Brown as the financial crisis as their personal in the international political arena "to show" opportunity, single-handedly London g-20 Summit, and in the countries of Europe and the United States between the positive.

However, after taking office, Cameron in the lead with the g-20 Summit agenda spirits away. This part of the reason is that in Brown dejected after stepping down, Cameron has inherited a lacklustre economic of the United Kingdom.

On this, Cameron has made a massive government cuts in government spending decisions.

October 20, United Kingdom Chancellor George Osborne · announced plans to cut spending. According to the plan, the Government will reduce expenditure, approximately 20% reduction of approximately 49 million public sector jobs, the swingeing cuts various welfare expenditures, and reduction of investment in education. In the United Kingdom Government policy people listen calmly, Osborne put current United Kingdom called the "stabilization times."

This reporter has learned that even the United Kingdom Ministry for many years to promote "Chevening" (Chevening) Scholarship processing was blocked.

Reduction in government spending and education allowance is reduced, as the United Kingdom entrepreneurs looking for new production opportunities and for United Kingdom university students seeking to become a very real problem.

At the same time, the United Kingdom Embassy information provided indicates that there are already more than 400 Chinese enterprises established in the United Kingdom, and the business sector in the past 3 years, Chinese companies have already carried out in cooperation with the United Kingdom and more than 50 research projects, and also plans to continue cooperation to 50.

Visit, in this context. But Cameron Government also made very practical considerations. He took the Exchequer George · Osborne, Commerce Minister Stevns · Kay Boolean, Energy Minister Chris · Hoon, Education Minister Michael · Goff, Chi in these four areas to achieve measurable results.

Thus, for a period of four days of the British Chamber of Commerce and industry Summit in these four areas are made carefully, including this Monday by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce Minister Chen Deming, Minister of United Kingdom business and Kai Boolean joint economic dialogue hosted by the National Energy Board Secretary Zhang chaired the first British energy dialogue; Vice Premier Wang Qishan and United Kingdom Chancellor Osborne's "economic and financial dialogue"; and the Chinese Ministry of Education Minister Yuan guiren-sponsored education Summit.

And during his visit to the "cold" Brown (although this has always been his personal style), Cameron's schedule is richer, both inter-governmental's high-level dialogue and visiting the great wall and visits to rural schools, etc., in order to learn more about how the cooperation with China United Kingdom young climate change awareness.

Yesterday, Cameron also met with some Chinese social entrepreneurs, and they just civil society and social enterprise for informal conversation.
