2012年伦敦即将举办世界瞩目的奥林匹克运动会。伦敦作为一个多族裔、多文化并存的国际大都市，在需要多方商业参与运作的同时，也渗透着多元文化的交流。北京作为上届奥运会举办城市，她的成功经验，必将为伦敦提供积极的借鉴和指导作用。奥运合作将是未来几年英中合作的重点，这也是中心工作的重点所在。
The 2012 London Olympic Games will become the focus of world attention. As a multi-racial and multi-cultural international metropolitan, London needs extensive cultural communications for its Olympics, in addition to the various forms of commercial participation. Beijing’s success in its last Olympics will no doubt provide references for London. The Olympics is about to boost the cooperation between the UK and China, and this is also the focus of the Centre.
