Chinese premier meets British foreign secretary

"China will work to create a better business environment for foreign companies in the country, including those from Britain," Li said, hoping Britain to provide a sound system guarantee for Chinese companies to invest in the United Kingdom.

Hunt, who was on his first China visit as British foreign secretary, hailed the development of "Golden Era" of bilateral relations.

Britain looks forward to the annual meeting of the two heads of government next year, and is willing to continue cementing political trust with China and synergizing development strategies, said Hunt.

Given the international situation stands at a critical point, Britain and China should enhance communication and coordination, jointly uphold multilateralism, free trade, and safeguard the international order based on rules, he said.

Hunt co-chaired the ninth China-UK Strategic Dialogue with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi Monday.
