UK Trade Secretary Peter Kyle is seeking to boost UK services exports to China as he hosts a delegation from the country on Tuesday.
Peter Kyle and China’s Commerce Minister Wang Wentao will jointly host the 15th UK–China Joint Economic and Trade Commission at Mansion House in London.
They will launch a “trade booster” initiative designed to support UK businesses expanding their exports into China during the visit.
Brompton Bikes and HSBC are among the British businesses attending, while firms JD.com and ICBC bank will represent China.
“The UK is a services superpower, and I want us to turbocharge our services exports and get more British engineers, architects, and accountants exporting their skills to China,” Kyle said.
“We need to be even more ambitious to promote secure and resilient growth for the next generation amidst a backdrop of global uncertainty.”
They will also celebrate recent partnership efforts, including Barclays entering China’s domestic bond market with its Panda Bond issuances and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants working towards mutual recognition of qualifications with China.
