BEIJING (Reuters) – China is willing to work with the United Kingdom to deepen cooperation in financial services, trade and investment, as well as green and low-carbon development, Ding Xuexiang, China’s vice premier, told British Energy Secretary Ed Miliband on Monday.

Developing a stable relationship between the two countries is conducive to addressing global challenges, Ding said, according to a readout of his meeting with Miliband in Beijing released by China’s foreign ministry.
