The spokesperson of the Embassy in the UK answered questions from reporters on issues related to the new building project of the Embassy of China

The Journalist:The Ministry of Housing, Community and Local Government Affairs of the United Kingdom decided to postpone the approval deadline for the application for the Chinese Embassy¡¯s new building project from October 21 to December 10.

The Embassy spokesman:We express our strong disappointment that the UK has repeatedly delayed the approval deadline for the Chinese Embassy¡¯s new building project.

China's new building design plan is a high-quality program, highly recognized by local professional agencies, and the application complies with diplomatic practices and local regulations and procedures.

Providing support and convenience for the construction of diplomatic premises is the international obligation of the host country. Both China and the UK have the need to build new premises in each other's capitals, and both sides should provide mutual convenience. We once again urge the UK to show sincerity to solve the problem and approve China's planning application as soon as possible.
