In a significant move to bolster bilateral relations, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met with British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves in Beijing for the 11th China-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue.
Han emphasized that both nations, being major global economies and financial powerhouses, recognize the importance of strengthening economic and financial cooperation. He highlighted that such a strategic partnership is crucial for promoting economic growth, enhancing the quality of life for their citizens, and advancing green development initiatives in both countries.
\"This collaboration will inject confidence and impetus into the global economy's development,\" Han added, underlining the broader impact of their cooperation.
The Chinese mainland is committed to expanding openness and exchanges with the UK, aiming to deepen mutual understanding and trust. Han stated that by enhancing mutually beneficial cooperation, both nations can reap greater benefits, not just for themselves but for the global community as well.
Rachel Reeves echoed these sentiments, noting the resumption of the dialogue after nearly six years holds great significance. She expressed the British side's dedication to developing relations with China and their willingness to engage in candid dialogue and mutually beneficial cooperation to foster economic development in both countries.
Established in 2008, the high-level dialogue mechanism serves as a pivotal platform for addressing strategic, comprehensive, and long-term issues in the economic and financial sectors.
