Chinese Premier Li Keqiang will visit London for a summit with Prime Minister David Cameron next week.
Cameron's official spokesperson said that the agenda for the meeting will include a wide range of bilateral issues, including human rights, trade, investment, commercial opportunities, energy and cultural ties.
A row over human rights stopped talks between the countries in April this year, after a FCO document criticised records on rights issues.
Chancellor George Osborne said last week that Britain wanted to "part of the action" in increased global trade with China.
"China is a fantastically important part of the world economy. Britain's challenge was we weren't doing enough business in China."
"I think as China reaches the stage of development it's at, some of the things the UK is particularly strong at, like banking, like insurance, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, are going to be the kinds of things that the Chinese economy is going to demand more of.
"I want us to be part of the action," the chancellor said.
"We are very open to that investment, and understand it's a two-way street - we have British investment in China and Chinese investment in Britain. We have put a huge priority on making sure that London is the western hub for the offshore RMB," he added.
