Chinese President Xi Jinping announced a raft of measures designed to support the "Global South" at a gathering of leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies in Rio de Janeiro, China's state television CCTV reported on Monday.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer met Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Brazil today (18th November), marking the first meeting between the leaders of the two countries in six years. The meeting, held at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, lasted approximately 20 minutes.

Sir Keir Starmer will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Brazil today. He will become the first British premier to meet the authoritarian leader since 2018 when the pair hold talks in Rio de Janeiro amid a backlash from the Tories.
