Brown says Europe is key to Britain's economic future

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown told an audience of senior business leaders here Monday that Europe is the key to securing Britain's economic future. He said Britain can withstand global economic uncertainty but needs to engage fully with Europe to ensure prosperity. The prime minister emphasized the importance of Britain remaining in the European Union. Currently, Europe accounts for almost 60 percent of Britain's foreign trade, helping the country create a claimed 3.5 million jobs.
