For his part, Starmer congratulated the Chinese sports delegation on their excellent performance in the Paris Olympic Games, saying that developing a closer Britain-China cooperative relationship is in the long-term interests of both sides and strengthening cooperation in fields such as economy and trade, finance, education, clean energy, medicine and health is conducive to promoting their respective development and jointly tackling global challenges such as climate change.

The British prime minister said that the British side is willing to enhance contact and dialogue with the Chinese side at all levels and in all sectors, push for positive outcomes in bilateral practical cooperation and mechanism-based exchanges, and develop long-term, stable, and strategic relations with China in the spirit of mutual respect.
