Chinese and British publishers, librarians and government officials recently gathered in the capital city to discuss copyright opportunities and challenges in the digital era.

The meeting followed an agreement on copyrights signed by the British Intellectual Property Office and the General Administration of Press and Publication last September.

Emma House, director of trade and international services at the UK Publishers Association, said the forum provided an opportunity for participants to learn more about the increasingly global issue.

Liu Yicheng, deputy secretary-general of the Copyright Society of China, said the nation knows the importance of the challenges ahead and will continue to promote exchanges with the international community.
