UK to boost economic ties with China
11-05-2009
British finance minister Alistair Darling has pledged to further strengthen ties between London and Beijing at a Britain-China economic summit.
In a comment piece in the Times newspaper he said the two countries had to do more to push forward an agreement reached at last month's G20 summit in London, promote ties between the two financial markets, enhance trade links and tie future growth to environmental sustainability.
"We must do more to seize the shared opportunities to learn, trade and invest," Chancellor of the Exchequer Darling wrote, ahead of the summit in London. "Thousands of jobs, now and in the future, depend on it."
