“It was a big step forward. We can’t solve any problems without first communicating. Now we have to launch these mechanisms and see what problems we might be able to solve.”
Britain’s foreign minister James Cleverly also spoke of the importance of keeping open channels of communication during a visit to Beijing on Wednesday. It was the first visit to China by a senior British minister since Jeremy Hunt visited as foreign minister in 2018. “It is an important country, it’s a large country, an influential country, and a complicated country, and therefore our relationship with China will necessarily be just as complicated and sophisticated,” Mr Cleverly said.
Speaking about the importance of high-level contacts, Mr Cleverly hinted that Mr Sunak and China’s president Xi Jinping may meet bilaterally on the margins of next month’s G20 summit in India. The foreign secretary’s visit to Beijing coincided with the publication of a report by the House of Commons foreign affairs committee which described Taiwan as an independent country.
