On July 20th, Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council sent a call to Andy Burnham to congratulate him on his appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Li Qiang said that both China and the UK are permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and major economies in the world. Strengthening dialogue and cooperation not only helps promote the development of both countries, but also injects stability into global peace. I am willing to work with the Prime Minister to enhance exchanges, build mutual trust, promote cooperation and exchanges, and drive forward the long-term and stable comprehensive strategic partnership between China and the UK, thereby benefiting both countries and their people.
