BRI, Greater Bay Area offer UK businesses growth opportunities

The Belt and Road Initiative and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area construction offer new opportunities for businesses from the United Kingdom to grow and the nation is keen to giving play to its advantages and participating in them, the British consulate-general in Guangzhou said.

"The Belt and Road Initiative supports our desire for promoting global trade worldwide and benefiting less developed communities. British expertise will support China's ambitions to work with economies along the Belt and Road," Karen Maddocks, British consul-general in Guangzhou, said.

"We see in the Greater Bay Area, there will be similar opportunities and I hope these opportunities will be open to international partners," she told China Daily in an exclusive interview on the sidelines of the Fourth China Smart City International Expo 2018, held in Shenzhen on Tuesday.
