Lord Kadoorie thanked Premier Zhao for his kind words. He said that
when he first arrived in Beijing, the sun was shining and although the
weather was cold, amongst friends, he felt very warm. Lord Kadoorie
said he regarded the project as the first link in a chain, the chain
which the Kadoorie family had started a long time ago. He said he
believed it would be long and extend well into the future. It was his
privilege to have had an understanding of China and he hoped that the
co-operation on the project will lead to better understanding between
China and the West. Towards this end Lord Kadoorie said he and his
company will provide its fullest co-operation.
