BEIJING, April 28 (Xinhua) -- China welcomes more foreign businesses, including Jardine Matheson, to deepen cooperation with China and achieve mutual benefits and win-win outcomes, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng said on Tuesday.
He, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remarks during his meeting with Ben Keswick, executive chairman of Jardine Matheson, in Beijing.
The vice premier said that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), China will unwaveringly expand high-standard opening up and promote high-quality development, thereby creating broader market opportunities for foreign enterprises.
He noted that more foreign enterprises, including Jardine Matheson, are welcome to deepen cooperation with China, participate in the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and achieve mutual benefits and win-win outcomes.
Keswick said that Jardine Matheson is confident in China's development prospects and will continue to deepen its presence in the Chinese market, steadily increase investment in China, and make contributions to the sustained and healthy development of economic and trade relations between Britain and China.
