David Brennan, Chief Executive, AstraZeneca, said:
"On my frequent visits to China I am struck not only by its rapid economic development but also by the energy of the people and the country’s rich cultural heritage. AstraZeneca has been in China since 1993 and this long-term commitment is reflected in our increasing investment in research and manufacturing, as well as millions of Chinese people who have benefited from our life-changing medicines.
AstraZeneca is proud to be a founder sponsor of the British Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010. We believe the UK Pavilion will be a great platform to showcase and build understanding of science and innovation, which chimes very well with our mission as a global leading innovative pharmaceutical company."
