British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has kicked off a two-day trip to China billed as a “pragmatic” reset of relations amid rising tensions over issues like Beijing’s support for Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Lammy met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at Beijing’s Diaoyutai State Guesthouse on Friday, acknowledging “areas in which we have different perspectives” while underlining that neither country “has an interest in escalation or greater instability”.
