(31 Jan 2018) UK Prime Minister Theresa May met Chinese Premier Li Keqiang at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Wednesday following a brief tour of the central Chinese city of Wuhan.
Accompanied by 50 British business leaders, including the chief executives of automaker Jaguar Land Rover and drug firm AstraZeneca, May is looking to burnish the "golden era" between the two countries announced by Xi during a state visit to Britain in 2015.
Ahead of the trip, May said that there were huge trade opportunities in China that she wanted to help British businesses take advantage of.
Bolstering ties with China, the world's second-largest economy, became more urgent after Britain voted in 2016 to leave the European Union.
China is key to the government's plans for a "global Britain," forging new trade deals and diplomatic partnerships around the world after it leaves the EU.
