Starmer to Meet Xi Jinping at G20, Urges 'Pragmatic' Support for Ukraine
Nov 17, 2024, 10:47 PM
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Brazil, marking the first such meeting in over six years. Starmer aims to foster a 'pragmatic and serious relationship' with China, focusing on economic growth and trade. He emphasized the importance of this relationship for driving economic growth in Britain, signaling a shift from the policies of his Conservative predecessors. This meeting comes as Starmer also plans to urge G20 leaders to 'double down' on support for Ukraine, highlighting the conflict as a top priority on his agenda. Starmer has no plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and his push for Ukraine support is in part to rally support ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration as US president in January.
