Scotland and China
The Government is leading a sustained programme of engagement with China for the mutual benefit of both nations. On 7 May 2008 the Scottish Government published its refreshed China Plan
In line with both the Government Economic Strategy and the International Framework, the China Plan sets out the Government's aims and aspirations for Scotland's engagement with China. The Plan was developed in consultation with a number of key stakeholders across Scotland.
The Plan identifies key areas of collaboration through existing and potential links between Scotland and China in the fields of business, education, science, culture and tourism. The Plan also details a set of targets for engagement with China with which the Government, its agencies and Non-Departmental Public Bodies can measure progress.
