LONDON (Reuters) – British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said on Wednesday London was “clear-eyed” about the areas where it disagreed with China but added that it was important that the two countries could have a pragmatic relationship.
Cleverly is in Beijing to meet Chinese officials, the most senior British minister to visit the country in five years.
“We are clear-eyed about the areas where we have fundamental disagreements with China and we raise those issues when we meet,” he told broadcasters.
