TheCityUK Responds To UK Government Announcement On New Rules For Chinese Visas

Chris Cummings, Chief Executive of TheCityUK, commented:

“TheCityUK welcomes the creation of a best-in-service visa system for Chinese visitors, which is exactly what we need to boost UK jobs and growth, as well as reinforcing our important links to the EU markets and the rest of the world.

“This initiative from Chancellor George Osborne is just one simple and practical way the Government is getting us back to growth.

“This is an important step to encourage further investment from Chinese companies into the UK.  We must continue to demonstrate that the UK is the best place in which and from which to do business. This requires a visa system that reflects business needs, reinforces and generates economic growth and enhances the commercial and economic links that form the bedrock of our international competitiveness.”
