HMG has discussed the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with China as part of our regular engagement, including at ministerial level. The UK is a \u2018natural partner\u2019 on BRI, as it is home to the world\u2019s leading financial centre, with strengths in key professional services and close relationships with many of the countries involved. We will work proactively to maximise opportunities for UK exports and investments related to BRI.<\/p>
