Currently, more than 130,000 Chinese students are studying in the UK. The development and construction of the motherland is always on their mind. He hopes this event will establish a platform of mutual understanding and exchanges between Chongqing and the students, and make positive contributions to introducing talent to Chongqing and China in general and make active contribution to the modernisation drive of the motherland and the realisation of the centenary goals and the Chinese Dream at an early date.
