Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer said “really good progress” had been made on issues including whisky tariffs and visa-free travel during his meeting with China’s leader Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday.

“We made some really good progress on tariffs for whisky, on visa-free travel to China and on information exchange and cooperation on irregular migration, focusing particularly on small boats and engine parts,” Starmer told reporters, calling it “a very good constructive meeting with real outcomes”.
