China is set to sign trade and investment cooperation agreements with Britain during Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s official visit, the Ministry of Commerce announced Tuesday. The agreements are expected to create new growth drivers for bilateral economic and trade relations.
“China attaches great importance to economic and trade cooperation with Britain and is actively working with Britain to prepare for the economic and trade cooperation outcomes from the visit, as well as a meeting of Chinese and British entrepreneurs,” the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry added that both Chinese and British companies have shown strong interest in the meeting, with over 100 firms already registered to attend.
