A campaign aiming to further enhance Sino-UK cultural exchanges was launched earlier this month on July 4 at the British Ambassador's Residence in Beijing. The event coincided with this year’s Queen’s Birthday Party celebrations.

Princess Anne and the British Ambassador to China, Dame Barbara Woodward, along with Chinese actress Jiang Shuying attended the event.

"Spirit of Youth will unlock long-term gains for both China and the UK from increased collaboration and exchange. Embodying the Spirit of Youth means to drive onwards with a fresh energy and creativity, looking forward and outward, creating links and networks between people and businesses in China and the UK that deliver benefits for all," said the British Ambassador to China Dame Barbara Woodward in her welcome speech.
