Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 14 March to Question 36039 on Foreign Relations: China, on what dates these meetings were held.

As stated in my Answer of 14 March, UK Officials regularly engage with Chinese counterparts in order to further UK interests, cooperating on areas of mutual interest and challenging on areas where we disagree.

This government is taking a consistent, long-term and pragmatic approach to managing the UK’s relations with China. It is only right that we engage with China where there are clear UK and global interests, including on international stability, climate, health and bolstering our trade relationship.
