Mr Brown and the Chinese premier Wen Jiabo agreed to increase trade between the two countries by 50% by 2010.
Mr Brown said the relationship between the two countries was "absolutely crucial" to the success of the global economy as a whole.
"It's true we are able to sell to China not just financial and business services and environmental technologies, but also a whole range of British brands that are now becoming very popular among the rising number of Chinese consumers."
He added: "We said we want Britain to be the number one destination of choice for Chinese business as it invests in the rest of the world."
