President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to the United Kingdom from Oct 19 to 23, which will be the first official visit by Chinese President over the past 10 years. Since China and Britain established the comprehensive strategic partnership in 2004, both countries have made great contributions to the development of bilateral ties. Let's take a look back at major moments of China-Britain relations.

Prince William's visit marks the highest profile royal visit to China since 1986, when Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip travelled to the country.
The second-in-line to the throne was on a three-day trip to China on behalf of the UK government to open a festival celebrating British creativity and innovation, the first major event in a year of cultural exchange between the countries.
William has been to Beijing, Shanghai and Yunnan province during his visit.
