The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to a co-hosted CBI-British Chamber breakfast seminar with Richard Lambert, Director General of the CBI. Join us on September 7th at Westin Chaoyang Hotel for this exclusive opportunity to hear from one of the UK’s foremost business lobbying organisations.
Richard Lambert will share his thoughts and comments on China’s recent elevation to its position as the world’s second largest economy. Touching on his recent visit to India with UK PM David Cameron Mr. Lambert will assess the UK’s attitudes to business and investment in India and China in addition to reviewing the first 100 days of the UK’s new coalition government.
This personal assessment of a wide range of key macro-economic issues is a must for anyone interested in learning how China’s rise is perceived in Europe and the measures taken by business and government to engage with the USA’s economic heir apparent.
