UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has called for "stable and pragmatic engagement" with China ahead of a bilateral meeting with Chinese Pres. Xi Jinping at Brazil's G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro.
The meeting will be the first by a UK prime minister with Pres. Xi since Theresa May in 2018. Starmer and Xi also spoke on a phone call in August this year, while UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy visited China in October.
