MOSCOW (Sputnik) - After having received an invitation to visit China, UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly may become the first foreign secretary of the United Kingdom to do so in more than five years, media reported on Wednesday, citing high-ranking sources.
London is planning this trip for late July, the report said, adding that China's Liu Jianchao, a minister heading the International Liaison Department of the Chinese Communist Party, is expected to arrive in the UK next week for talks with legislators.
Last week, Liu met with former Labour Cabinet minister Peter Mandelson in Beijing, the report said.
