We believe that through BLSF, it will play a huge role in promoting cultural globalization. BLSF lays a solid foundation for establishing a cultural bond and trade exchange between China and the UK for generations of friendly exchanges, cultural mutual learning. BLSF also injected new vitality into the people of Beijing and London to work together to create a better future.
