After praising ICUK's record the minister said:

"ICUK is widely recognized as a successful programme. Over the next two years ICUK, through Queen Mary University, will work with the British Embassy and today’s organisers – Beijing S&T Commission – to continue this work through a series of technology partnering events, including agri-technology, low carbon buildings and water technologies. Such work is key to building a sustainable partnership and developing joint innovation projects."
