Premier Li Keqiang said Britain’s withdrawal from the EU has begun to exert influence upon the international financial market, and increase uncertainties around the world.

He made the remarks when addressing the opening ceremony of Summer Davos Forum in Tianjin on June 27.

As European countries remain China’s important partners, China will make efforts to maintain and develop its relations with both EU and Britain, said Premier Li, adding that China hopes to see a consolidated and stable EU and a stable and prosperous Britain.
