Third-country markets open doors for Sino-UK ties

China and the United Kingdom may find more opportunities to cooperate in third-country markets.

The two countries have already achieved much progress in bilateral investment and trade in recent years. In Europe, the UK is China's second-largest trading partner after Germany, and it has been the top European destination for Chinese investment since 2012.

Both countries have advantages and expertise and are highly complementary in their economies. They can develop third-country markets through investment, deployment of technology and expertise and the construction of projects.
