China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi is due to visit Britain next month to hold talks with his UK counterpart David Lammy, The Guardian reported on Sunday.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth, & Development Office (FCDO) is making plans to host Wang in mid-February, the report said, citing three people briefed on the plans.
The purpose of Wang's visit was to hold a Britain-China strategic dialogue for the first time since 2018, the report added, citing one of the people briefed on the matter.
The FCDO did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment, while the Chinese foreign ministry could not be immediately reached for comment.
British finance minister Rachel Reeves visited China earlier this month, a visit intended to revive high-level economic and financial talks that have been frozen since 2019.
