Low-carbon programs foster links with EU

LONDON - The green goals in China's new five-year plan present opportunities for European and Chinese businesses.

"With China pushing low-carbon growth up the political and business agenda, there are considerable opportunities for UK businesses with low-carbon knowledge, capability, and commercial expertise," said Susan Haird, acting chief executive of UK Trade & Investment, in an exclusive interview with China Daily.

"It is important that we continue to increase two-way investment between our countries in low-carbon goods and services, as this will lead to the increased growth of a global low-carbon economy," Haird said.
