DFID China is responsible for leading the UK’s development partnership with China to achieve shared international development objectives around the world.

The UK’s development partnership with China is set out in a Memorandum of Understanding signed between DFID and the Ministry of Commerce (MofCom) in 2011. It covers three broad areas:
– Improving the effectiveness of China’s, and the UK’s, impact in specific third countries/regions by working together on the ground;
– Working together to promote global and regional public goods – for example action on climate change, communicable disease and food insecurity;
– Working together on international development policy issues – for example the Post-2015 development agenda, the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation, international trade, investment and debt, sustainable development etc.
