中华时报/中时网（赵雪湄）”大使级关系 50周年是一个回顾我们两国之间的好机会。作为世界主要经济体和联合国安理会常任理事国，英国与中国间稳健的友谊至关重要，这样我们就可以履行对全球和平与可持续发展的共同责任。
在过去50年中，中英关系的发展超越了政府之间的纽带，也逐渐包括了我们的商业和人民之间的紧密交流。在这个周年纪念日，我希望我们两国可以增强信心，一同推进贸易联系，应对全球性挑战，并进一步促进人民与人民之间的交流。”
“The fiftieth anniversary of ambassadorial relations is a good opportunity to reflect on the relationship between our two countries. As major world economies and permanent members of the UN Security Council, it is important that the UK and China have a strong relationship, so we can discharge our common responsibilities for global peace and sustainable development.”
“Over the last 50 years, the breadth of the UK-China relationship has grown beyond our governments to encompass also our businesses and our people. In this anniversary year, I want our countries to increase ambition to grow our trade links, tackle global challenges and further people to people exchange.”
