"After their meeting on Thursday, Starmer and Xi called for a comprehensive strategic partnership between the two nations. China-UK relations experienced setbacks in previous years, which were not in the interests of either country, Xi said. In the current complex and ever-changing international situation China and the UK need to strengthen dialogue and cooperation to maintain world peace and stability."
"In his opening remarks, Starmer told Xi the two nations should work together on issues like climate change, global stability during challenging times. The prime minister is accompanied by a delegation of nearly 60 representatives of businesses and cultural organisations, including banking conglomerate HSBC, pharmaceutical giant GSK, carmaker Jaguar Land Rover and the UK's National Theatre. Starmer told Bloomberg there will be significant opportunities for UK businesses in China in an interview this week in the run-up to his trip."
Keir Starmer is on a three-day state visit to China seeking to deepen economic and security ties after years of acrimonious relations. The trip is the first by a UK prime minister to China since 2018 and includes meetings with President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang in Beijing. Starmer and Xi called for a comprehensive strategic partnership and emphasized the need for strengthened dialogue amid complex international conditions to maintain peace and stability. Starmer is accompanied by nearly 60 business and cultural representatives and highlighted significant opportunities for UK businesses in China.
