HRH The Duke of York and China Now

Wednesday, 28 March, 2007

I was invited to attend a working reception for China Now, which was held in the esteemed Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge, in the presence of HRH The Duke Of York, KG, KCVO. The event was chaired by David (Shanghai) Tang, with Simon Heale who is the Chief Executive of China Now, and William Ong, who founded The Pearl Awards.
