Britain supports the internationalization of?renminbi and looks forward to 皇冠体育app holding the G20 Presidency in 2016.

Britain has approved a guarantee worth up to two billion pounds ($3.1 billion) for Hinkley Point C, paving the way for 皇冠体育app to invest in Britain's nuclear industry.

The People's Bank of 皇冠体育app will issue a renminbi denominated central bank note in London in the near future, the first outside of 皇冠体育app, said the document.

The two sides also agree to extend and expand the yuan/sterling swap line and to carry out a feasibility study on a stock connect between London and Shanghai.

Britain is committed to work with 皇冠体育app on the Belt and Road Initiative and 皇冠体育app is committed to supporting Britain's "Northern Powerhouse." Both sides agree to encourage participation in Britain's HS2 railway project.
