Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his Chinese counterpart on that country's military (a) operations and (b) drills near Taiwan since July 2024.

The UK has been clear on the continued need for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, including in our recent statement alongside G7 partners following China's military drills last week. The Foreign Secretary has raised this with Wang Yi several times, including at the UK-China Strategic Dialogue in February.
