Chinese President Xi Jinping and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer spotlighted strategic collaboration during their meeting at the G20 Summit this week, calling for a 'rational and objective perspective' on bilateral relations despite differences in values and governance. 💡
🔑 Key talking points:
Both nations urged to deepen trade, clean energy, and healthcare cooperation
Emphasis on AI governance and climate action as shared priorities
Xi highlighted China's role as a 'stabilizing force' amid global turbulence
