British Foreign Secretary David Lammy is visiting China in an effort to reset diplomatic relations between the two nations.
This marks the first high-level visit by a UK official since Prime Minister Keir Starmer took office. The trip aims to address both contentious issues, such as human rights concerns, and areas where cooperation is possible. Lammy's visit underscores the UK's desire for 'pragmatic engagement' with China, despite ongoing geopolitical challenges.
The outcome of the visit could shape future UK-China relations in key areas like trade and security.
