China Daily  

Britain's Foreign Secretary David Lammy shakes hands with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi ahead of a meeting at 1 Carlton Gardens in Central London on Feb 13, 2025. Beijing and London have agreed on a roadmap for future collaboration during Foreign Minister Wang Yi's trip to Britain, setting out plans for senior UK officials' visits to China, as well as intergovernmental dialogue and cooperation on global issues. "The UK minister for energy security and net-zero will visit China and hold the China-UK Energy Dialogue," said the statement. Wang's visit marks the second occasion in a decade that a Chinese foreign minister has visited the UK, and seven years have passed since the previous China-UK Strategic Dialogue, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Friday. When co-chairing the China-UK Strategic Dialogue with Foreign Secretary Lammy, Wang said it is natural that there are differences and disagreements between China and Britain, and "what is important is to have an objective and rational perspective and strengthen dialogue and communication in the spirit of mutual respect".
