UK and China: building a long-term relationship

Back to News

Prime Minister David Cameron, accompanied by 6 government ministers, is leading a trade mission to China this week.

Priorities for the visit

The visit will focus on:

  • building a long-term relationship between Britain and China based on mutual understanding and respect for mutual benefit
  • partnership - an open Britain is the ideal partner for an opening China
  • tackling 21st century challenges, from sustainable urbanisation to educating the next generation to meeting the elderly’s healthcare needs

Linking Britain to fast growing markets like China is a vital part of the government’s plan to secure the recovery for all. We are determined to do all we can to throw open the door for British companies to benefit from China’s vast and varied markets, showcasing British business, particularly small enterprises, in China and highlighting investment opportunities.

This visit is about planting the seeds of a long-term relationship which will benefit China, Britain and the world for generations to come.
