British foreign secretary set for China trip as U.K. seeks investment

LONDON — British Foreign Secretary David Lammy plans to visit Beijing this week, and analysts say the new government is looking to restore ties with the world's second-largest economy.

A government source told Nikkei Asia that Lammy was planning his first visit since the Labor Party came to power in July, but officials declined to provide further details. Local media also reported that British Chancellor Rachel Reeves plans to visit Beijing early next year.
