The UK side stands ready to further deepen high-level exchanges with China, to bring the UK-China High-Level People-to-People Dialogue into full play, to expand exchanges and cooperation in culture, education, health care and other fields, and to enhance mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples, so as to promote UK-China relations for greater development.
