China and the United Kingdom's decision to accelerate a joint feasibility study on a bilateral services trade agreement is expected to lay the groundwork for deeper cooperation in high-value services, despite broader trade uncertainties, analysts said on Friday.
When co-chairing the 15th meeting of the China-UK Joint Economic and Trade Commission with UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade Peter Kyle in London on Thursday, Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao said that China welcomes greater investment from British companies and hopes that the UK will provide a fair, equitable and nondiscriminatory environment for Chinese companies investing in the country.
According to a statement released on Friday by the Ministry of Commerce, Wang said that China and the UK, as important members of the World Trade Organization, should work together to implement the outcomes of the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference.
