UK Foreign Secretary Plans China Visit to Mend Strained Relations

David Lammy's trip aims to reset ties with China amid ongoing tensions over human rights and espionage allegations.

David Lammy, Britain's Foreign Secretary, will travel to China next week to meet with Chinese officials and British business representatives.
The visit is part of the Labour government's effort to recalibrate the UK's approach to China, moving away from the previous Conservative government's confrontational stance.
Key issues likely to be addressed include trade, human rights, and espionage allegations, as well as the status of a new Chinese embassy in London.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has emphasized the need for open discussions on disagreements while seeking closer economic cooperation.
British finance minister Rachel Reeves is also considering a future visit to China to revive stalled trade and investment talks.
