Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what diplomatic steps he is taking with his counterparts in the United States, Europe, the Commonwealth and other Indo-Pacific countries to tackle national security threats from China.

Upholding national security and keeping the public safe is the first duty of this government. This underpins not just our relationship with China, but all our international relationships. We have to recognise the complexity of the world as it is and that is why when it comes to China, like our closest allies, our approach is clear: we will cooperate where we can and we will challenge where we must - never compromising on our national security.
