On 8 September 2015, UKTI and Confucius Institute for Business London (CIBL) held a Chinese language and culture training session for small and medium enterprises (SME’s) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). The event was attended by more than thirty representatives from various companies based in London, as well as representatives from the UKTI and the British Embassy.
CIBL UK Director Mr. Nick Byrne first welcomed the attendees to the event in an opening speech. CIBL trainer Tim Nash then gave a lecture named Business Negotiation Style. After that, CIBL China Director Prof. Lisheng Luo delivered a lecture called Chinese Business Negotiation Style and CIBL teacher Ms. Han Zheng gave the trainees two language taster sessions. During the rest break the attendees practiced Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese martial art, led by CIBL coordinator Dr. Hong Lu. At the end of the training a VIP reception was held in the LSE staff dining room. The trainees, UKTI representative and CIBL staff all enjoyed this event greatly as it not only provided people with a chance to learn more about Chinese language and culture but also created networking and cooperation opportunities.
