A UK visit from Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang saw both countries agree to work together on low-carbon growth, putting it at the centre of UK-China relations.

The agreement has developed from previous discussion at last year’s UK-China Summit to develop a new scheme for promoting low-carbon technologies and lifestyle in China.

Energy and Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne said;

Today’s agreement demonstrates that the UK and China want to accelerate this shift to low carbon and are committed to greater collaboration on energy markets and low carbon technology.”
