The Foreign Secretary has previously set out concerns directly to both the Hong Kong Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, and to the Chinese Foreign Minister, State Councillor Wang Yi. Since the District Council elections, officials have remained in regular contact with the Hong Kong SAR government and the authorities in Beijing. They have stressed the urgent need for political dialogue and underlined that the peaceful conduct of the elections demonstrates political engagement is the way to resolve the current impasse.
