(Reuters) - Chinese premier Wen Jiabao pointed to Sino-British manufacturing co-operation on Sunday as he launched the first new MG motor model in 15 years during the British leg of a brief visit to Europe.

Diplomats say China and Britain are expected to announce over one billion pound's worth of deals during his three-day visit in a range of industries.

Wen will meet Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday for the latest of a series of bilateral summits focussed largely on trade and business, though which will also likely encompass the euro zone debt crisis and human rights.

Protesters demonstrated with banners and loudspeakers as Wen toured the MG Motor car factory in Longbridge, near Birmingham, central England, where the new MG6 will be assembled.
