Cameron said the UK stands ready to advance bilateral trade and investment and welcome more Chinese investment in high speed railway, civilian nuclear energy, aviation, and telecommunications. The British government is also willing to facilitate EU-China Investment Agreement negotiations and support the study of an EU-China Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
Wang said China’s President Xi Jin-ping’s visit to Britain this autumn has the historic significance and will mark a milestone in China-Britain relations. Noting the bilateral relations were becoming increasingly mature and stable, Wang said China appreciates the UK’s positive and open stance in its cooperation with China, hoping that the two countries will explore new space for growth in the China-Britain comprehensive strategic partnership.
