Cooperation between China and the UK has witnessed remarkable progress in renewable energy to shed light on more opportunity for the two sides to harness the full potential of clean energy and combat climate change, an official said at a new energy international cooperation forum in Beijing.

The new energy forum, as part of the 2017 International Industrial Capacity Cooperation Forum and the 9th China Overseas Investment Fair, focused on pursuing the Belt and Road Initiative and boosting global cooperation on production capacity.

"The economies of the two nations are complementary in the clean energy market and technologies," said Catriona Knox, the commercial counselor of the British Embassy in China.
