2026 visit by Keir Starmer to China

From 28 to 31 January 2026, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer paid a three-day state visit to China. This was the first official visit by a Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to China in eight years since Prime Minister Theresa May's visit in 2018. Starmer's trip was seen as an important step in the Labour government's reshaping of its China policy. Its main goal was to repair the bilateral relationship that had fallen into a slump in recent years and to seek to establish a cooperation framework that he described as "more mature" and with long-term stability.
