Caption: Starmer Says UK-China Ties In Strong Place After Beijing Talks. Prime Minister Keir Starmer says relations between the UK and China are in a “good, strong place” following what Downing Street describes as productive talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. Number 10 says progress is made on key issues including whisky tariffs and visa-free travel for UK visitors to China while both sides agree to maintain what officials call frank and open dialogue on areas of disagreement. Xi acknowledges there have been “twists and turns” in relations but says engagement between the two countries is unavoidable, underlining the importance of continued cooperation. Alongside the talks, UK-based pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca announces a $15 billion investment in China highlighting the scale of potential business opportunities linked to the visit. Starmer and Xi are also expected to sign a new border security agreement aimed at disrupting the supply of small boat engines as the UK looks to strengthen cooperation with China on migration and enforcement challenges.
