Xi urges deeper China-UK cooperation in first call with PM Burnham

Chinese President Xi Jinping held his first official call with new UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, calling for deeper cooperation between the two 'major technological powers' and emphasizing shared interests over systemic differences. The call signals a potential reset in bilateral relations after a period of strain, though concrete outcomes remain unspecified. This is a notable diplomatic overture from Beijing, but its significance depends on follow-up actions.
