France and China will set up a fund for joint investment in overseas projects, the French foreign minister said on Monday in Beijing.
“Hinkley Point is a very good example of what we can do together,” said Jean-Marc Ayrault, referring to a $24-billion (20 billion pound) Franco-Chinese project to build Britain’s first new nuclear power plant station in decades.
He made the comments at a joint briefing with China’s foreign minister Wang Yi.
