British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said on Saturday that businesses wanted "stability and clarity" in trade with China, as London seeks to reset relations with Beijing under the new Labour government, APA reports citing Reuters.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said following a meeting with Lammy on Friday that the bilateral ties "now stand at a new starting point," adding that "competition among major powers should not be the backdrop of this era."
"I've been speaking to British industry and it's important to remember that 95% of that business is not in areas that pertains to national security," Lammy said in an interview.
"Of course, there are areas of national security interests, and we will always put those first, but what people also want is consistency - what business wants is stability and clarity," Lammy said.
