Alex Salmond has now joined the list of high profile people in Scotland that have voiced their support for The Young Icebreakers. He stands alongside Premier Wen Jia Bao, Lord Smith of Kelvin Kt and Jack McConnell MSP at a time when the YIB are in the final stages of planning the launch in Scotland. In a letter received this week The Scottish First Minister wrote;
“I am keen that we inspire and motivate people in Scotland and China to work together to develop themselves as global citizens. In particular, it is important that we strengthen understanding and levels of trust and perceptions between people in Scotland and China.”
“I am delighted that the 48 Group Club will be instrumental in the establishment of the Young Icebreakers in Scotland. I am Confident that it will provide opportunities for young leaders from both Scotland and China who have demonstrated professional excellence and leadership potential to experience the best of what Scotland and China have to offer.”
“As we continue to build our relationship with China, I hope the Young Icebreakers in Scotland will help support the growing partnership between Scotland and China through business, education, science and culture.”
