The Investment Promotion Association of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone Lingang New Area recently held an event in London, UK, where participants expressed their hopes to strengthen economic and trade exchanges and cooperation between China and the UK in various fields. Representatives from the Lingang New Area Management Committee of Shanghai stated in their address on the 18th that the huge growth potential of the Chinese consumer market means greater opportunities for British companies. The UK has strong international competitiveness in high-end manufacturing, financial services, and technological innovation, which aligns well with the goal of the Lingang New Area to build a more influential world-class industrial cluster. It is hoped that companies from both sides can engage in deeper exchanges and cooperation in cutting-edge technology industries, biopharmaceuticals, and financial and trade services. The Chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce in China, Fang Wenjian, stated that the UK has many advantages in the field of science and technology, providing ample opportunities for deep cooperation between businesses from China and the UK.
