so my name is concert bath craig i became leader the mayor of manchester in december just last year, but you're right i've been a console for over a decade before that and i oversaw the city's response the covet pandemic with my responsibilities for health and care if i think about covet we reached out to wuhan in the early days of the pandemic not realizing that actually we would need their help just a month or two later so we have some practical examples and we send a letter very very early on so our colleagues and wuhan i'm expressing our support as they were battling the pandemic we sent them some supplies from unchester and then literally probably six to eight weeks later, we were receiving responses and replies back from wuhan where they were sending us medical equipment they were sending us face masks things that we were really struggling to get home so that's one small example of where you can have a relationship that really is directly in a crisis so as a city leader your job is to do the best thing you can for the people of your city and that means that the politics of the day sometimes don't interfare in the same way so my priority is making sure we get the best from unchester colleagues and wuhan is precisely the same that they want to see thriving and excelling city so from my perspective over the last thirty six years governments have come and gone prime ministers have moved on, but having a collaboration that's rooted in practical thing this is really important。
