Guernsey enhances relationship with China through Madam Fu

Guernsey's Chief Minister Lyndon Trott has met with Madam Fu Ying, Vice Foreign Minister in the Chinese Government, during a delegation to strengthen relationships between the two jurisdictions.

The meeting took place at the Foreign Ministry in Beijing a year after Madam Fu visited Guernsey in her previous London-based role as the Chinese Ambassador to the Court of St James's.

During the meeting she proposed the launch of an exchange programme between pupils from her old school in Inner Mongolia and students from the Guernsey College of Further Education.

"It was a pleasure to meet again with Madam Fu," said the Chief Minister.

"Guernsey's relationship with China has grown steadily over the last year or so and much of the credit for that success rests with Madam Fu due to the significant influence she has in her role as one of China's most senior diplomatic officials."
